Not a jerkface is correct.

this spider belongs to the salticidae family,

and is a phidippus audax species (the teal green chelicrae

give this one away) commonly called a daring jump spider.

these are totally harmless, an very reluctant to bite.

they are easy to handle, and spider lovers seem to favor these.
