Sorry, I can only tell the genus for sure: Heliophanus. May be a male H. cupreus, but definitely only identifiable by genitalia examination...

And what is your opinion about it?: Arachnida, Salticidae It was my first jumping spider, and I thought that it will be easy to ID but it has been waiting for its name ever since. Thank you again!

I had looked several times at that thread, but am still not 100% sure about the spider on the first two pics. The last two are clearly Evarcha arcuata females, but I have never seen one with such a distinctive pattern as the first one. But still no other spider in my literature does match it better than E. arcuata. So I think, it it 90% this species... (E. falcata being even more dull in the female gender). But I do not have pics of female E. laetabunda and E. michalovi, two very similar species occuring mostly in south east Europe.
