Tis the season for giant floofy hat spoods 🥹🥹

She was shy at first, but seemed interested in ups, and happily explored my hat when offered. Nothing quite like a full-grown phidippus regius, and I love the dark North Florida colors of this female. 🖤

Phidippus Regius

This is one of the rarest colored P. Regius females that I ever came across in North Florida. The orange ones were most common, of course, but every so often I would come across a grey/white colored one, but this day I found this yellowish/cream colored girl. What is really strange is the fact that her chelicerae are green (usually this only applies to males). She was a very large, healthy specimen as well. One of my coolest finds during this time of working with jumping spiders. I shot her in her natural habitat (here), then took her home for a quick studio session, and immediately returned her to the location where I found her.

These shots are prepped for a spread in the book I'm working on currently, that will show my photography catalog of many Salticidae species shot and collected in North America.

Regal jumping spiders (Phidippus regius) are one of the world’s largest jumping spiders. Endemic to the southeast US, mostly Florida, where they can be quite common among low vegetation in open, sunny habitats and prefer to make their silk lairs on palmetto fronds.

They’re probably also the best-known species of jumper, mostly in the context of being kept as pets. They often charm even individuals who are otherwise arachnophobes, though I think their undeniable cuteness can make people overlook the fact that they’re incredibly formidable predators even by spider standards, able to use their excellent vision and reflexes to stalk and subdue large, dangerous prey. Awhile back I saw one eating another venomous predator, a wheel bug (Arilus cristatus) that was at least twice the size of the jumper.

Phidippus regius are seasonal creatures, with adults getting active in late summer, so every year I get that lovely little shock of "sweet jesus Regals are LORGE" when I see the first adults. This man spood looks fierce but he is a sweet lump. They all are, really. Hat Spood. 🖤
