Don Cadle one last year and then as soon as he asked they vanished. And generally they loved my passion vine yard perch last year but this year we did not have a single Gulf Fritillary and the vine is a jungle monster. Your shots are superb, so I hope you get one. I don't think mail transport for short trips is a big deal for Salticids though.

These are in Ohio but I haven't found one yet. Not sure how common they are here.

Males jumpers usually have fewer molts to reach adulthood, occasionally track down and "guard" subadult females, and often die soon after mating, so after you start seeing adult females the adult males can become pretty scarce. On top of all that, gender of immature stadia of most jumper species cannot be reliably determined from habitus photos; ie., male and female may be identical in outward appearance, and usually resemble an adult female. So the "female form" is the one most people find.

And yes they do fine in the mail. I've sent and received quite a few, and just recently FedEx'd 15 little Neons to AZ. They just need humidity and a rough surface to grab onto. Of the phids I got from Don over a year ago that survived the "mite issues" with my feeding stock, the last one finally died just a couple months ago.
