Spider on a screen out in the sunroom. It (she?) was feeding on an insect. Largish spider, well over an inch across the legs. Might be a nursery web spider.

They say you should always get the nearest eye in focus, right?

But there are so many from which to choose.

More shots of the same individual as my previous post upthread. If anyone has a clue about ID, I'd appreciate it!

Ah, sorry, but no - it's not a wall spider, and neither is the one in your photos. They are both jumping spiders - but that's a very large family, with more than 5800 described species...

You are right.
Anasaitis canosa
Commonly called: Twinflagged jumping spider

The website I was at had wall spider above and made it look like they were talking about this one.

Looks likely for the spider in your photos, but not at all for the one in mine - no white spots on pedipalps or the back of the head, and very different markings on the abdomen...

I see so much variation i thought they were the same but now yours seems closer to phidippus clarus but they seem to have 6 spots. Hmmn.

Well, if you find the spider on a wall, does that count as a wall spider? I'm always findind ceiling spiders and trying-to-hide-in-the-corner spiders. Not the most elegant taxonomic nomenclature, but I have no troubles with pronunciation.

There are: web-makers and stalkers; hairy ones and scary ones: big ones, little ones, and awful-darn-small-to-photograph ones. Too many in that last category.
