Apple, don't be embarrassed...be proud that you have decided to dedicate some of your personal and valuable time to such a noble cause!!!! Check out my other unidentified spiders and redeem yourself! Hahahaha! Thank you
@IgCostaNut--sorry about that...I didn't look that closely and just saw what I thought was Lynx. Spiders are my favorite to identify and I am embarrassed to say I didn't look close enough to pick up on what Chun stated here.
Good catch!
Thanks Chun! I thought it might be a jumping spider based on the behavior. I'll make the change. Pura Vida!
I think it is a Jumping Spider because it's large anterior median eyes can be seen. A Lynx spider does not have those type of eyes.
This one might be close to the genus Onomastus.
thanks apple
Looks like some type of lynx spider
