Spider identification
Southern California. It jumps. Lost legs unfortunately trying to catch it. Released outside.

Cheiracanthium mildei would be my guess. But those usually don't jump. (Hard to tell/ not an expert)

That’s looks a lot like it, but a smaller one than pictures. The abdomen was pretty small, but those long fat ended pedipalps look similar. Sounds like they’re not deadly but painful bite and they do bite when handled so glad I didn’t take a chance. Thanks for the help!

Wolf spider most likely. Which? I have no clue. I see them all the time too. Their bites last a month or more when I've gotten bitten.

Thanks! I’ll take a look again. The wolf spider pics I saw looked like tarantulas.

I got bitten by a couple of these in San Clemente, caught one and brought it to someone at UC Irvine, back when there was a Bike Religion store on campus and I was they Buyer for the chain. They said it was a wolf spider. I was told there is a good bit of variance in the species that can make them difficult to identify further, but they are common to SoCal.

The size and color make me think “black footed yellow sac spider”, a.k.a. Cheiracanthium Inclusum, but those aren’t known to jump. They can be quick runners though.

Woah it looks just like it. I think it might have been a juvenile one

Scary fucker
If it weren’t for those long pedipalps I would have been so concerned with touching it.
