Looks like some kind of jumping spider. I like jumping spiders, and running spiders in general, though orb weavers are also cute and useful. This little one went on its way after videos and photography.
Looked around, paused, moved at a lively pace.
Filmed 2026, February 28. I stabilized and rotated the clip by 180 degrees, to give a better view, and muted the coffee shop and street noises. Then I cut the clip shorter and reduced the resolution to shrink its memory requirements.
All in all, a cute and personable thing to encounter. Jumping spiders are reputedly smart for arthropods (an example link), and the behavior of this little runner gave an impression of observation of it’s environment.
