Who is this little guy?
About 1cm. Spotted in Albany, on a rocky beach, but it could have traveled on my caravan from Greece to Albany.
When I moved my phone closer he (she?) tried to jump against it.
That's Greg.
Follow up, is this a young one or an elderly one?
I’m old Gregg!

I agree with SonicBlue - it looks like a jumping spider (Salticidae), based on size and behaviour.
The different colours of the front legs and the thick pedipalps hint a boy.
Sadly the Salticidae family is huge, and you can find them everywhere, and this complicates identification.
This is a jumping spider. Sometimes called a house hopper.
Judging by the overall shape and the enlarged forelimbs of conspicuous coloration, I'd bet it's a juvenile Hentzia. Seems like it wants you to go away, though. 🤪
It's certainly a jumping spider, there is no doubt about that.
My best guess would be Thyene imperialis, but jumping spiders are notoriously hard to ID, so it's just a suggestion.
When I moved my phone closer he (she?) tried to jump against it.
Yup, they love jumping at camera lenses for some reason. You can also play with them with a laser pointer or with a mouse cursour if they wander onto your screen.
Lucas. He grew up.
So busy & focused, dude has got places to jump!
I really like this one, great pic too
Possibly a Hentzia.
Possibly a Hentzia.
Not in Europe.

Ugly. I usually like spider but not this one. It looks like mix btw the spider I'm familiar with and a wasp.

To be fair your profile picture is more beautiful than mine.
