One of my students brought me a wonderful jumping spider the other day. It's about 1/2" or a little more in size and he has the most striking "fluroescent" green chelicerae. His body is dark gray with two stripes down the top of his abdomen and one white strip on the bottom.
I believe this guy is a member of the genus Phidippus, based on the green chelicerae. Does anyone know of any other genera with this characteristic? If it is a Phidippus species, does anyone have a guess as to what species or where I might look to find out?
He was caught indoors in the Napa Valley (just north of San Francsico) and he is quite a climber.
