What a beautiful spider! I've always wanted to find an adult male of this species, maybe I am getting close...

Can anyone confirm that this is a female Phidippus mystaceus? Is it an adult? I've seen some different images on the guide that looks abit different marked as adult females.

Outstanding photos!
Looks like an adult female mystaceus to me. Males might be pretty scarce by now, but keep looking!
