Need Phiddipus audax/regius ID HELP PLEASE! =)

[kitkat39]

I have Phiddipus species that are adults now, but I am not sure how to tell exactly what they are. Are there links or pictures where I could easily look up audax or regius to determine species and sex?

Seems like looking around the net is giving me a bigger headache...

Please help... Thanks!

Try posting some pics right here. The audux have bright greenish/blue chelicerae.

Here you go.. these are all different spiders.. I'll upload 5 more right now

The one in the last picture was found on my ceiling when I came out for breakfast one morning in California. The rest came from Oklahoma. =)

I'm pretty bad at Salticids but I think that is a bold jumper, P. audax

Each picture is a different spider. Some were a little more cooperative with my camera, others freaked out at the sight of the lens and kept running away. =P

Definately audax-es. A male Regius could easily be double the size(compared to your fingers).

 

[kitkat39]

Hmm.. I have one male (the 5th picture) who IS double the size of those other males. He is also very lazy and does not move around much.

Hehe, I think you were uploading while I was replying to your first post. No worries, All images to me look like bold jumpers (audax) but again, I'm just guessing here.

 

[kitkat39]

Haha.. I only uploaded a few pictures onto arachnoboards because they only allow so many. I sent many many more pictures to someone else to ID them and their answer is that they were pretty much audax. =)

THANKS GUYS!

i agree that you have P. audax

The big Californian one is audax too, they're significantly larger in the south. The second male in your second post has great markings!

 

[kitkat39]

Yeah I was told to keep that one. Whew! It's a relief knowing that everyone I've talked to so far says that they are audax!
