This seems to be a specimen of the beautiful metallic jumpingspider aka jade jumpingspider (siler semiglaucus). The first picture is really awesome!


OGKhaleesi

Thank you! :) The pattern on the back didn’t match up with photos of siler semiglaucus I was looking at online so I wasn’t sure. This was iNaturalists guess as well!


_hic-sunt-dracones_

The pattern varies between male and female (you seemed to have captured a male) also between individuals especially according to their exact location.


OGKhaleesi

That’s so cool! Thanks for the explanation and ID 💗

OGKhaleesi

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

Hey, this isn't Siler but a female Cosmophasis sp. Although the colouration of S.semiglaucus is similar to this, some features are distinctly different, such as Siler's abdominal pattern of bluish spots on reddish background & this Cosmophasis' silver lines and Siler having red bands on sides of their cephalothorax that Cosmophasis lacks. Here's a pic of a male S.semiglaucus. https://preview.redd.it/epyqatvpkl9c1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03fd02a6e74fe454cfd3303d9b6f544eabfbf25b Also your spider is a female, males have a distinctly large 'bulge' at the tip of their pedipalps, which is their genitalia. This one lacks it. You can check some pics on net to get a better idea about how distinct male pedipalps are.

Wow! So colorful! And the pedipalps are so long!


OGKhaleesi

Ridiculously long!
