Could someone please answer this question and instead of links identify it please.

It is indeed one of those jumping spiders. Be careful when you are trying to get hold of it

these spiders are more scared of you than you are of it.They will kill annoying flies and mosquitoes.I like these spiders.I call them hopping spiders.they live mostly near windows so they can catch flies.
