    Totally new to this so this may be known to lots of you, but what kind of bug or fly is this?

    Hi Tara...
    Your photo didn't post. Make sure you do that final "click" to insert them.

    Taralou, I added the photo to the post. But could you do some cropping to make the bug larger so we can see it?

    Check out the How To: Post Photos instructions. Posting a photo in a post makes it much larger and easier to see than placing it in an album in your 'My Garden' section.

    It may be a type of jumping spider in the Salticidae family but the subject is too small to give a positive ID.

    I tried to enlarge it and crop it a bit. Hope it's not too blurry.
    Thanks,

    Looks like I need some practice with the cropping and enlarging!
