OH WOW! That is one kick ass spider! Never seen one like it before. Tell me where do you get them and where do they originate?

I want one now!

LMAO! No what I meant by "Where do they originate?" is in the location. What other parts of the USA can they be found ( since you live in San Diego CA )?

The distribution of P. johnsoni is bounded by the Great Plains, the Pacific Ocean, northern Mexico and southern Canada. It occurs from sea level to tree line, occupying relatively dry habitats such as coastal dunes or oak woodlands. Between two and thirty redback jumping spiders per 1,000 m² were found during a study in 1976.

This species has been introduced to New Zealand with grapes.

does anyone have a correction?

 

[Black Widow88]

Nope. So for now I'll go with what it says but I'm not posting it on my blog until I know that everything is 100% correct/corrected. But I love the spiders in your photos Pulk.

If Wikipedia is correct ( which in alot of cases it isn't and vice versa ) I'll post it on my blog with a pic of one. But I need to be 100% sure first.

cool, I have never seen a ant mimic jumping spider, even though I had heard of it!!

Great find!!!

About the Ant Mimic,

These I've heard of and seen lots of pictures. Apparently they're hard to tell apart. Correct me if I'm wrong about this. But they're awesome!

I love Ant Mimicking spiders period.

Funny, as I've never seen one do that ( I've seen plenty of large jumping spiders and numerous daddy long legs of different species ). I would personally like to see one take one down though.

I bet it would be pretty easy since they're not that fast. If you guys have any pics of one eating a daddy long legs I would like to see it immensely.

Thankies!

Same Spider!!

Wow, this spider has been making appearances all over the world, as of late!!

It should be called the "Elvis" jumping spider!

She appears to be the exact same spider from the thread I started..

I'm pretty sure it's a Maevia sp., see here:

[Black Widow88]

You're right! I haven't seen them around here where I am but there's no mistaken that's a Dimorphic Jumping Spider ( Maevia sp. ).

Awesome though! I hope I do see one in person someday.
