Bold Jumping Spider

May 17, 2023

 

This is a "bold jumping spider" (Phidippus audax). It's a big black fur covered spider with bright metallic green, iridescent chelicerae. This one was hanging out near all the seedlings in the kitchen. I relocated him to the big lemon tree plant to see if he'd eat some of the tiny flies that have started showing up in its soil. He just hopped away.
