    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello all,

Here are 4 picturs of a little jumping spider photographed in Quebec (near Vermont, USA) last August, 12th, 2010.

Knowing nothing about spiders, is it possible to identify the family, genus and maybe the species?

Thank you once again for your generous help...

I don't know how I missed this post - I always love your photos, Michel!

I'm not 100% certain, but it looks like a male Bronze Lake Jumper. Family Salticidae, genus Eris, species militaris.
 
Hello Laura,

Thank you very much for your appreciation of my pics! It is really appreciated :)

Eris militaris seems to be an excellent guess!

Thanks alot :)

Michel
