Peter Parker incognito?

close-up image of a jumping spider

My new Nikon CoolPix 4500 arrived via FedEx today and I had to get out and use it. I went out with it for the block walk over to Starbucks for my afternoon fix. After I got my lattee, I walked out the door and there on the Dallas Observer news stand was this cute (?) little fellow. According to this page that a friend pointed me at (Thanks, Tommy!), it looks like it's probably a foliage-dwelling jumping spider of some sort. Despite the size of this picture, he's really only about 1/8 inch tall. So despite his fierce demeanor...there really isn't a whol lot of him to worry about.
