This little guy was on the inside of the window of our back porch. He was only the second male I saw this season.

Hey, that's great! One doesn't often see a male at this time of the year. If you can send me an a close-up of the spider such that the palps and abdomen are clearly visible (as best you can), I'd really like to include it on the identify panel. It would be nice to show folks what a male looks like.
