    Phidippus octopunctatus male

    Unlike females, male octopunctatus mimic velvet ants- dasymutilla nocturna, to be precise. This species gets quite large- this male is def 19-20mm, so i believe reports of females being up to 25mm.

    Phidippus octopunctatus female

    Adult female and immature male octopunctatus are cryptic and sedentary and prefer to just hide in plain-sight. They mostly feed on grasshoppers and are ambush-hunters, unlike other phids.
