            That looks like a good match to me, although I'm not an expert.

            Note: for ID purposes it's good to take some more angles in the field, in particular the abdomen is very important for spiders. I often forget this myself, as we're all lured into that beautiful head :)             Posted 5 years ago

''Plexippus paykulli'' is a jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is native to south east Asia but has spread to other parts of the world. In the United States it is called the pantropical jumping spider. It is usually associated with buildings and may be found near light sources catching insects attracted by the light. It is named in honor of Gustaf von Paykull.
