This is an adult male Regal jumping spider - Phidippus regius. His fangs, when retracted, are bright blue and turn this irridescent emerald when agitated or courting. I read that these spiders are easily tamed and can be induced to jump from hand to hand. The bite stings, but only for a short time.
