Bold Jumping Spider

Phidippus audax

The Bold Jumping Spider is a small, colorful spider that loves to jump! It has big eyes and can leap many times its body length to catch its food or escape danger.

Lebensraum: Urban areas

Aussehen

The Bold Jumping Spider has a fuzzy, jet-black body, often with a distinctive, triangular white or orange spot on its abdomen. Its large forward-facing eyes and iridescent green or blue chelicerae (mouthparts) make it visually striking and different from most dull-colored spiders.
