phidippus nikites

This male had escaped and was found outside with a wound on his head- i think he tried to court an audax or johnsoni and got nipped on the head. She's absolutely bursting with eggs!

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.

A nice bright female

This form seems to be the rarest. Whilst they all can commonly be orange like this as slings, adults retaining this pattern are much less common

One of my favorite morphs.

Mature female Orange form. This is the morph i call 'Mojave neon' it can be blood red, electric yellow or this beautiful fiery orange. The coastal form tends to be more of a brick-red color.

penultimate male
