Cardinal or saint? - Phidippus cardinalis - female

Cardinal or saint? - Phidippus cardinalis - Female
Flat Island Preserve, Lake County, Florida, USA
This is the same specimen as in the other image where her abdomen is orange instead of red. She was very well-fed in the original image, thus causing the colored abdominal scales to be more spread apart. In this image, she is thin, causing her abdominal scales to be more dense. Also, this image was taken with my Nikon 4500 that I've had for a couple of months. It takes much higher quality macro images than my Pentax.
