Is My Jumper Male or Female?

[LadyShia77]

Hello all. I caught a Daring Jumper/Bold Jumper inside my home about a month or so ago. I have been trying to figure out if it is male or female (also not sure of age). I'm leaning towards male because of the slim abdomen, but am still a novice. I have pictures attached. Not sure how well they turned out. For some reason, my camera wasn't wanting to filter the light properly. Hopefully, you can still see him/her well enough to tell. Also, the white smudges on the enclosure was from having to glue the enclosure together (my bf glued it for me lol) and the glue was supposed to dry clear, but sadly, did not and the smudges did not come off when we tried to clean them using safe methods for my jumper. Another thing, one of the pictures has him/her eating a cricket. I added it because I was able to get a fairly decent picture of its front. Thank you in advance for your help.

This is an adult male phidippus audax

As hes an adult he wont molt anymore, he also could be elderly now or soon since males dont live very long unfortunately

The chelicerae also mark that it's a male.

thats not true. females can have blue/green, green, gold, and even a tinge of orange in their chels and males can have pure green, green/blue, blue and green/gold too. just like regius can have green male or female too.

No, the males have larger chelicerae that stick out more than the females.

Thank you all for your help. I was thinking male, but wasn't completely sure. He hung out in my bathroom for the longest and I was going to leave him be, but then he wondered into my bedroom next to my bed. My bf is scared of spiders so I caught him and made a pet out of him. He's really neat to watch. The day of the pics, I had put a cricket in his enclosure and it started climbing up the webbing on the side. My jumper waisted no time climbing up the stick and doing the biggest jump I've ever seen him do and caught the cricket. It's sad knowing he may be getting old soon. He's been a joy to have around. Even my bf has been enjoying looking at him. Thanks again guys.
