In the middle of the still smoldering pine forest after a burn, I found this gorgeous Phidippus cardinalis lass guarding her clutch of eggs under a small log. People sometimes ask me how invertebrates survive prescribed burns, and, well, this is one way. Respect. ♥️

Phidippus purpuratus is a large jumping spider most often found in Canada and the northern US, where they live on the ground or among boulders in exposed, rocky habitats like mountaintops and sea cliffs. This is a rather different lifestyle from some of their more arboreal cousins, and I assume they rely on the warmth of sun-baked rocks to sustain activity in the cold and windswept places they inhabit.

They’re well camouflaged among the lichen covered granite on this mountain in Maine, probably because they have to be- more conspicuously colored jumpers like P. regius and audax often have the option to drop into dense vegetation when threatened, but I saw these hunting on bare rock with nowhere to run should they face the misfortune of being spotted by a bird.

FOUND THE MOST ADORABLE PHIDIPPUS FEMALE!!

I think she might be a Phidippus audax female but it’s hard for me to be sure!
If I get confirmation that she is one for sure, then I’ll edit this to say that!

Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
An adorable jumping spider that would just NOT stay still after I shook her out of a tree branch onto my beat sheet. Probably Phidippus audax.

Spice no longer has what my wife calls her "mischief halo;" the orange dot is gone and the top of her head is all black now.
