Jumping Spider 2

[Ratmosphere]

Every day that I go outside, I see common species of jumping spider. I even went an hour away in my state and even found one on a rock wall during my hike. You can see crazy color variations in some. In this topic, I am going to be asking about color variations of the Phidippus Audax. Has anyone seen the orange pattern of this species in the wild? I heard there are even some rare colors that they can come in that are orange. I really want to find some of these this year! Let me know your input guys, thank you!

As far as i know there is no orange P audax, you maybe thinking of a female P regius, or worth a hybrid. You can choose any P audax you like, as long as it's black.

It's a variation that's been reported from FL (and probably only occurs in that area). You can see pictures from here :

I emailed the man who has these and he says that they're only found in parts of North Florida and warmer climates. Oh well! Still a cool spider.

Good to know. Now i see why someone said, you can't judge a spider by it's pattern.
