NEW jumping spider question

[Ashtralana]

Ok. So, I got another jumping spider that my daughter found on the house. It's a fast one too so I tried to get the best pics I could. Is it male or female? Does anyone know what kind of jumping spider it is? How mature is it?

 

[Ashtralana]

Ok. So found out its a male jumping spider but I don't know if it's a baby or an adult.

 

[Poonjab]

Mature male. You can see his talons

 

[Ashtralana]

Thank You

 

[Nicole C G]

Adult male Habronattus coecatus

 

[Ashtralana]

Thank You. I have that same question with another jumping spider my husband found this morning mowing grass. It has a hurt leg but gets around fine. It has green fangs which is cool. Is this one male or female? Is it an adult or baby?

Phidippus audax. I think it’s an adult female?

 

[Ashtralana]

Thank You. Here's a better pic of the underside

Yeah that looks like an adult female.

 

[Ashtralana]

Alright. Awesome. Thank You so much.

Yall, Im.obsessed with these jumping spiders and just got a beautiful one. I'm assuming it's mature adult but I can never tell If it's male or female. Also what species of jumping spider is it? Thank You.

It’s a Phidippus species, one that I don’t know.

 

[Ashtralana]

Thank you. Do you know if it's male or female?

 

[Ashtralana]

I wonder if it's this species. Phidippus purpuratus

OPs spider does have a Phiddipus look, don't it? Particularly, its underside is nearly identical to my P audax. If I didn't see the topside I could almost believe that was an audax, but clearly it's markings on the top are different. Depending on which Phid it is, it may be a sub-adult. Some of them can get bigger than this.

This is the spider Im referring to, fyi. Also, mystery solved. That is indeed a P purpuratus. I just searched around for a bit and that is one. Apparently, they occur in roughly the same range as P audax in the eastern part of audaxs range. They don't occur nearly as far west, they seem to be an eastern/northeast oriented species. I think most people who aren't studied on arachnids would not be able to tell the difference between audax and purpuratus unless they knew about which markings to look for. Per bugguide.com, purpuratus has been found from West Virginia all the way to New Hampshire.

Thank you so very much. I'm from NC and have never seen one this color before. Do you know If it's male or female?

How do you differentiate it from similar species like Phidippus clarus? I’ve been meaning to learn how to ID more Phidippus species so any imput helps.

I just looked up pictures on Google if I didn't get an answer here but that is a good question. I've always been watching tarantula kat on YouTube to help me too

Clarus is typically more red/orange colored, they do look quite similar though. On looking at various pictures though, I honestly cannot say for certain if this is purpuratus or clarus. Clarus seems to more often have orange color though.
