Black and red spider on stones on shore of lake - Phidippus cardinalis
Benbrook Lake, Tarrant County, Texas, USA
September 29, 2007
Size: About the size of a dime
I found this spider on the edge of the rocks where the normal grass starts about 6 feet from the waterline of a freshwater lake. The only other insects we observed in the area were grasshoppers, other species of spiders (this one the only one of its kind), and butterflies. I will also upload a pic of the other type of spider there were multiple specimens of. -Halo

Phidippus
Not sure which species, but it might be Phidippus apacheanus.

Actually
this appears to be an adult male cardinalis.
