Phidippus audux

[padkison]

We captured one of these little guys this spring. It is a voracious eater. It recently just emerged from a molt and is really nice looking. It spun a thick enclosure to do its molt (I guess avics do this too). I can't get an actual picture because it is about 1/2" and very active, but here is a picture I pulled off of Bugguide that does it justice.

I have 3 of these left in my collection, and I absolutely love them. They are one of the most exciting spiders to keep IMO.

Very nice!! I love the green chela

That is one of many beautiful parts they have.Mine when in dimmed light them look like they have an extra set of glowing eyes.

I fall in love with jumping spiders one year ago, in April. Then I caught my first jumping spoder - Evarcha falcata female It wasn't so colorfull, but it was very voracious
