jumping spiders

These guys are getting very yellow, i cant wait to see them as mature.

Big enough to catch mini mealworms now.

Finally paired these two! It took forever!!

Getting bigger! The blonde hairs over the iridescent scales makes them look like lil gold nuggets. One more molt and these guys will be able to eat mini mealworms

Mature female. Note the diamond mark on the head.

Apache jumpers are strange- this population is full of huge specimens, yet another area nearby is full of tiny specimens that never reach 15mm. At any rate i'll have lots of eggsacs next year.. @[email protected] good thing i have a perpetual fruitfly harvest :D

There was a point where i thought 200 slings were a headache to rear. Now i long for such a small number. i'm gonna be rearing like 3,000+ slings next year. i might as well tie bags of fruit onto me and become a walking fruitfly culture at this point :\

This P. aureus is old and cant scale smooth stuff well anymore and has made a sheet-style eggsac- allowing me to watch the development- which is really cool because you're generally not allowed to see this!

Penultimate female. She looks like a 'standard' common ardens form but could end up maturing way different looking.

Yes I made that name up. It works though. Latin for 'Three-spotted' A strange morph of ardens mostly black. reminds me of the fused spot variation of audax a bit.

I will probably hold onto this female, get a brood from her with a yellow male, and backcross the better looking offspring. If i can intensify the black on the abdomen and head it'll really make those spots stand out more.

Adventive from the old world, has spread throughout the southern states. Originally lithophiles, has become a 'wall jumper' in urban habitats Both sexes are beautifully marked with bold black stripes. Very agile and fast.

'Carnal Jumper' mature male Need to get this charming fellow a lady asap!

This specimen's population is quite distinct and is from an isolated area.

Penultimate female

A really high intense red on this female. Ill be eager to cross her with a nice male. Should make even redder babies :P
