Out of the Barn, Pt. 8 - _TNY_6864

This little fuzzball is an adult male Attulus terebratus jumping spider.

 

In Swedish, these guys are known as "laduhoppspindel" which means "barn jumping spider" so I don't really know what to think when my wife found this one inside the house and brought it outside to me in a plastic cup. Is our house barn-like? :)

 

This species was earlier known as Sitticus terebratus, but was renamed in a revision of the taxonomy.
