I came across this gorgeous little buddy in my garden today. This is probably one of the most beautiful spiders I’ve ever seen in person <3. I literally gasped when I saw it.

Phidippus adumbratus, Northern California

idk what this little guy was doing, but every once in a while, he would pause and look up at me with his kind little eyes...

hi!! i found this little friend while moving plant trays back to our school garden. my friends think it's a jumping spider of some variety but i thought i would send this in to see if that's right?

definitely a jumping spider: short legs with big front eyes and a blocky sort of body, out during the day. this is a big female (I think) Phidippus adumbratus

@pravum-vulpes-umbra-imperatrix​ submitted: I named her Lynxie at the time, when I found and caught her. Pictures were taken in San Diego, CA. What type of Jumping Spider was she?..

Adorable! The pics aren’t really clear enough to say for sure but looks like a jumper in the Phidippus genus. Possibly a juvenile, and possibly Phidippus californicus or Phidippus adumbratus. :)

Man Pets Minuscule Jumping Spider, It looks Adorable!

"Personality among Phidippus jumpers can vary a lot from one individual to the next, but the Adumbratus (adumbrati?) I found in Oxnard seem to all have a very calm disposition. I’ve noticed that one of the differences between wild and domesticated animals is whether the animal has an instinctual bite response to handling. There are certainly Phidippus that I’ve owned that could have been incited to bite under various conditions, but for this spider, I am not sure it would be possible to elicit a bite response outside of when she’ll be guarding eggs. As this video illustrates, she does not seem to be bothered by much – even touching the dorsal side of the abdomen, which seems to be universally disliked by jumpers, just makes her lazily take a few steps in the other direction.This jumper is descended from a female that was already gravid when I found her. Based on owning a couple of these spiders so far, the female adumbratus abdomens seem to have considerable variation from spider to spider in patterning, hue, and color intensity/saturation, whereas the males have all been more or less homogenous. This spider is also gravid now, and it will be interesting to see what traits her offspring inherit."..(Read...)

Good day from me and the lady

P.adumbratus

when alfred isn’t viciously guarding her babies (like she is now, hence the lack of alfred), she has free range of my desk or quilt with her nomnom.   alfred has produced three egg sacs since i adopted her, nearly 4 months ago.  i hope she sticks around for a while longer!  alfred has traveled across much of california and accompanied me during spider exhibitions; she’s been the best little ambassador.  she has also given me two spiderlings that are now 3rd and 4th instars.
