Little spider hanging out in my office. Pretty sure it's harmless, and I'm inclined to leave it alone.

Anyone able to identify it?

that’s a smolususferus teenieurusuous, native to where ever they’re found, miraculously!

they bring sparkles and luck to whomever crosses their path. @tyghebright

@tyghebright common name is Jumping Spider which is a pretty generic name for this class of spiders.

@Victor

Ah, it has hopped around a bit. Makes sense.

@tyghebright named as jumping spider as it jumps and pounces on prey.

@tyghebright another thing to notice on this type of spider is that it anchors itself with a strand of silk to ground before jumping...

@tyghebright VERY small? Like body the size of a grain of rice?
Jumping spider.
The cutest little spoodles of all! ❤️

@stueytheround

Much bigger than a grain of rice, but still quite smol.

Consensus does seem to be jumping spider. And it is very cute.

I'm leaving it to wander, but Anna might eat it.

@tyghebright It is a carnivorous arachnid. It will paralyze you with its bite, sever your limbs and appendages and drag them all back to its nest.

As all spiders do....DUH!
