I am a male Jumping Spider in the genus Maevia
Some call me Paramaevia michelsoni, but my name is in flux
My taxonomy has been changed a few times
The beauty of science - there's always much to discuss. 

Special thanks to G.B. Edwards, Ph.D., Curator Emeritus: Arachnida & Myriapoda, Florida State Collection of Arthropods for letting me go out with him to look for spiders a few weeks ago.
