I agree with Enoplognatha ovata, Misumenops asperatus is in a completely different family - Thomisidae.

I would say Enoplognatha ovata, which belongs to the family Theridiidae.

I don't think it looks like Misumenops asperatus-spider flower legs are way different its a different species

If you do an image search on google for Misumenops asperatus - it looks pretty similar

your awesome i just looked up online its a cob wed weaver not sure exact species though

macro is a big close-up. I have lots of macros in my spottings. and I agree with you, it definitely doesn´t look like a jumping spider... more like a weaver...

It doesn't look like a jump spider, its legs aren't shaped like jump spiders, also whats macro? :)
