Largest species

[LasidoraGT]

does anybody know what the largest species of jumping spiders is.

 

[Pulk]

Phidippus octopunctatus is apparently the largest in north america, but I haven't seen any bigger species mentioned anywhere.

 

[LasidoraGT]

how big do they get

 

[Pulk]

you can look that kind of thing up on Google, or, even better, within Arachnoboards (Search function).

P. octopunctatus get to about 1" legspan.

At least 6" ( kidding----reference to earlier thread )

pssh, I saw a 10" P. audax once. I don't have pics though.

Didn't you say earlier you'd put in in a museum, but the museum burned down? It's terrible when such amazing proof like that is lost. Well, at least you had it..lol:wall:

I had a two foot P. audax, but I had to have it put down after it ate 5 small children and half the employees at Taco Bell. ;P
