This spider was found on our deck ... eating a hornet! Any ideas of what he might be? Is he harmful? (My guess is no.) Will try for better pics this week, but hoping someone can help. Thanks!

It kind of looks like one of the jumping spiders.

Oh its my favorite one.
Phidippus audax, the Bold Jumper =D
They're so cute!!!
Not harmful at all.
In fact, my arachnophobic husband actually likes THEM enough to let them roam our house to eat flies that get in in the summer.

Thank you! I had a feeling it was a Jumping Spider. Thanks for confirming! We're going to let him/her roam around the deck for the Summer!
