Thanks Jack!

This colorful little spider was really tough to I.D.
(As one might imagine, there are not many photos or descriptions of Spintharus flavidus around to use as a reliable point of reference.)
It was actually this species' unique eye pattern which led the "panel of experts" at Bugguide in the right direction.
