I saw a tiny baby Phiddipus audax outside in the backyard today and did my best to get some clear pics with my phone. He made this dead lily stalk his home and even made a TEENY adorable hammock near the top of it in a fold, as I watched him he crawled down a bit and began spinning a new hammock right in view of me. So adorable, I had to share it here since I'm sure many of us have never actually witnessed a wild jumper in the process of making a lair. ALSO, something I find very odd, if you look closely in the 1 pic at the smiley face on its back, its inverted! Its upside down the opposite of how my female P audax is, has anyone encountered this before? IMG_20220717_143421938~2.jpg IMG_20220717_143431167~2.jpg IMG_20220717_143610031~2.jpg
