Before people get all negative again, this is NOT a black widow and it's not dangerous! She's a harmless jumping spider(my brother said it was on steroids when he saw. She's 3 times bigger than the zebra jumpers we usually get). This is one of two female jumping spiders of this kind I found under broken cement around the backyard.

Here's a longer video featuring the two jumping spider nests in different containers. One in the hollowed root is Itsy's, one in the jar is Bitsy's.
