Salticidae photos

[Gigas]

i very nice looking spider to, nice shots

 

[The Snark]

Thank you very much. It seems like E. arcuata is one of the most common Salticids here in Czech republic. If only they can be as big as tarantulas

I'd pay solid gold for a tarantula sized salti. :worship:
But... considering their agressiveness and fearlessness they would present a hazard to household pets. Not to mention the fun and excitement if you accidentally discover one patrolling inside your shoe.

Nowhere near the stunning quality Dark Raptor is presenting :worship: but here's a couple of photos I shot this past spring. I'm afraid I have no idea as to it's Latin name (help anyone?), but it was about 1cm long, quite the character and had these gorgeous green fangs.

PS: if it helps in identifying, the images were shot in Southern Ontario, Canada.

Hi,

Awesome shots by the way, thanks for posting! :clap:

Hello back and thanks for the compliment! I had to take quite a few photos to get a few good ones... darn thing kept jumping on my lens
And thank you for the identification, nice to finally know what I was playing with that day.

All the best.

Although I'm a little hesitant on posting in the same thread as Dark Raptor, I wanted to share this little guy that I rescued out of my pool today. No idea what the species is!

But imagine if it was the size of a household pet!
I'd run, fast!

running would not help. they would always be much faster... say bye to a human kind

some hardly worthy but fitting pictures of P.borealis haha

 

[xgrafcorex]

got some jumpers in the mail today, two female Phidippus johnsoni and a female P. octopunctatus. wasn't able to get any good pics of the johnsoni twins, but i'll be sure to once i can. one of them has an egg sack and is hiding so i left her alone, the other is climbing the sides near the lid. it keeps trying to escape whenever i try to open it up to take a picture, so i just put a little water in and closed it up. the octopunctatus was much more cooperative so i was able to take a few pictures.

it looks like she had previously lost one of her legs but it has regenerated. a couple other leg segments show some wear, so i'm looking forward to seeing her after a molt.

edit...lets see some more saltis! wheres dark raptor? hopefully building up an amazing collection of photos.

 

[Arachnophilist]

those are great shots! I cant wait till it warms up and my house is flooded in jumpers again

 

[Tegenaria]

they are fantastic litle spiders arent they? We get the common black and white one in summer, stalking the walls under the windowsill outside.

 

[Emanuele]

I posted them in another post too, but if you are interested here there are some more jumpers pictures: http://www.anura.it/Fotografia/Salticidae_eng.htm
my english is not perfect, but I hope you'll appreciate.

i found some small bugs in one of my P. johnsoni enclosures this morning.

so far i've only counted 10-12. they kept moving around which made it hard to get a good count..and there could be more on the substrate i didn't see. time to get some fruit flies.

 

[Selenops]

Congrats! They're quite large, awesome!

I am going to purchase some Jumpers this week or next from the Spider Pharm.

Andi,

The Spider Pharm based in Arizona, USA sells two North American Salticidae species, female P. octopunctatis, male and female P. johnsoni.

I looked through out their site but haven't found any overseas policies. Call or email them.

Spider Pharm's Jumping Spiders from their True Spider pricelist.

 

[Blackrose]

Hi

Are there other shops where I can buy Phidippus?
I only know Todd Gearheart and the Spider Pharm!

Andi
