Not a Lynx Spider
These Jumping spider (Salticidae) live in my garden, and sometimes try living inside with me. They make little use of webs, instead spending their lives as hunting spiders on plants and among the flowers where they ambush pollinators such as bees, much as Crab spiders do. This spider was in my kitchen where he posed on a plate before jumping onto my hand and surprising me more than I expected. Still, we parted the best of friends, I know this because it returned the next day for a second photo session.
