jumping spider

Mature female Orange form. This is the morph i call 'Mojave neon' it can be blood red, electric yellow or this beautiful fiery orange. The coastal form tends to be more of a brick-red color.

I guess I'll name him Alex Audax lol

Small immature specimen found missing a palp, has molted and regenerated it. The next molt should return it to normal.

Antepenultimate male This morph of carneus is known for its striking vivid red coloration and intense white markings. Both sexes are equally colorful.

They're getting bigger. this is the fourth instar, i presume. they were collected approx. at i3

A highly variable species, Californicus was once considered to be six or more different species due to their wide array of colors and dorsal patterns before the 2004 revision to the genus Phidippus, which has rendered many names to be synonyms of other species already known.

The 'Dear jumper'. Metaphidippus is a genus of dendryphantine salticidae closely related to phidippus and paraphidippus. the genus epithet means 'Beyond phidippus' a reference to said close relation. 'Paraphidippus' can also mean 'beyond', but more accurately translates to 'Beside phidippus'

(Juv. Male) Unlike nikites this genus can be more easily sexed at a younger instar.

(Female juv.) Similar to and closely related to P. Nikites- Apache jumpers can be somewhat as variable in color.

A small but brave juvenile that fearlessly walked up to the forceps and casually accepted a flour beetle larva.

one of eight specimens collected. hopefully at least one is a male! Cannot release the name til i get some brood going :P

Tiny little 3rd instar sling

Made it too fuzzy again lol

I went a little overboard on the fuzz but still looks good to me lol Phidippus nikites mature female. Will probably draw the male next.

gonna take my time with this one!

a beautiful habronattus species with a snow-white color. the southern population of which may be a subspecies is mostly pure white. Like all habronattus species, these are terrestrial jumping spiders and mostly spend their time walking around on the ground.

unsexed immature pairs- $130 Payment via paypal shipping price varies by box size and dimensional weight. I cannot offer these wholesale, i am sorry. This is a desert loving species that actually loves high heat and dryness. they can go much longer without food or water than other...

one of many juveniles. I'll be focusing primarily on salticidae for a while. Will be offering some REALLY cool species soon!

Caught a whopping 22 p. Nikites, along with 6 beautiful P. Californicus (not pictured)
