Oh these are excellent! I love how shiny the eyes are in these photos. Kudos to you. I hope you find out what your unidentified jumper is ASAP.

I have an jumping spider that I see alot during the spring and summer but I don't know what it's called. All I can tell you ( since I don't have a camera ) is that it has black and white stripes.

So if any one knows please let me know so I can research them further. I know them when I see them so if any one has pics of species with those colors and patterns I could tell you if it's the one I see or not.

Thanks!

Phidippus audax

If you're in NYC, what you're seeing is probably P. audax.

Thanks for the link. I was thinking about using reversed lens, now I know that I'll have to With all my extension rings and teleconverter x2 and macro lens I can get only 3:1 magnification scale. Yesterday I've tested old Pentacon 29/2.8 and easily get 4:1. I need sharper lens for this type of work and new diffuser.

So if any one knows please let me know so I can research them further. I know them when I see them so if any one has pics of species with those colors and patterns I could tell you if it's the one I see or not.

I'm sorry, I'm specialized in european species


Ok. A little more:
Marpissa muscosa

...and her baby

As you see sometimes they don't do this

I prefer orb-web spiders, they are not moving so fast

Another shots with Salticus scenicus - male.

And Pellenes tripunctatus

Evarcha falcata (?) (or dark from of E. arcuata female)

Ok this is weird because the spider that I keep seeing looks more like S. scenicus then P. audax. Plus it's tiny but it's bigger then an ant.

So I'm confused right now. :?

It is possible. Salticus scenicus is also present in US. This specie cosmopolitic and well known as synantropic specie. In Europe you can find them in the city centers.

Good looking little fellows!

 

[Black Widow88]

That's what I wanted to know if the species was found in the US. I'm more then sure that it's S. scenicus.

Thanks!

Ok. I've been testing new set-up in the last days. This time reversed Feltogon 32/2.4 MC, Kenko extension rings and M42 extension rings (pictures weren't cropped).

Two models: Evarcha arcuata and Marpissa muscosa.
Body length
~4mm

~12mm

Phidippus Regius and Phidippus Audax
from brachyP

I had never seen ones so huge, the ones we had around (which was plentiful) were probably at most - 1cm

My husband was handling them, and they were fast, but goofy. Their abdomens are very very soft.

Nice.Id love to find some of the audax with the blue chelicerae!Jumpers are tricky to find sometimes but there very plentiful all over the USA.I think theres around 5000 known species of Salticidae :X
God knows how many more undescribed!
