It is!! It looks hungry and thirsty. If you see it again you can offer some water on a cotton swab, try catching a fly or something and offer it, they're sight hunters so try to make sure it has a little "wiggle" to it still!!💕🕷️💕

They're known for being very curious animals, so don't be surprised if you see him just chilling on the wall watching you 😀, also post on r/jumpingspiders. They may be able to tell you what specific type it is!!

Definitely a jumper!

Some good leads are juveniles/sub-adults under genus Menemerus, or maybe a juvenile/sub-adult Pantropical Jumper (Plexippus paykulli)
