I was at the Village of the Cross Keys for lunch and photographed this small spider on a Rudbeckia. Can you identify it for me? Thank you.

Expert Response

This is a type of jumping spider (family Salticidae), though we can't identify it to species with certainty; several dozen species in this family occur in Maryland. Based on body pattern and colors, it might be an Emerald Jumper.
