User's notes

Can't remember the sizing, so best guess. At Bluett's Block. No clue what it is, other than apparently a jumping spider.

I updated the ID, I've not seen Pungalina in person before.

@woyapp thank you for your help with it on Facebook and here. You all amaze me with what you know and the effort you put in. Is there a possibility to get a new species name for it as Ethan was sure it was specifically Pungalina semiferruginea? It does fit that looking at that species on iNaturalist.
