I'm finding out that we have quite a few different varieties of jumping spiders. I may have seen the metallic-looking creature before, but I'm not sure.

Thanks...

The first image is of a solitary ground-nesting bee in the family Halictidae, the other two are jumping spiders in the genus Phidippus. I am uncertain of the one in the second image (possibly P. audax), but the third one might be P. princeps - http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/149880612

2nd and 3rd images are of the same spider.

O.k. - I should have asked first. The only reason I mentioned P. audax was because of the greenish chelicerae bases...
