Moved
Moved from ID Request. Red all over with greenish chelicerae make this P. apacheanus, always a nice find.

 
Thank you!
We're building a patio & it was just sitting on top of one of the patio blocks. Is it common in Illinois?

 
Not sure
I believe it is more common to the south.

Phidippus
A jumping spider in Phidippus, I believe a male Phidippus apacheanus, it appears I can barely see the blue-green chelicerae.
Please crop closer to images if possible in the future.

Cropped photo uploaded
Thank you! I uploaded a cropped photo, but it's blurry. Is it rare to find this spider in Illinois? My research said it's found mostly in the southern United States, but has been spotted in south-eastern Minnesota?
