Black and white spider with blue walrus mustache - Phidippus audax - male

Black and white spider with blue walrus mustache - Phidippus audax - Male
Beavercreek, Greene County, Ohio, USA
May 23, 2012
Size: <1/4"
Photographed in my mint patch, where there were dozens of Lynx spiders (Oxyopes scalaris) on neighboring plants. At first this spider tried to ignore me (see other images to be added, taken earlier) but then turned toward me and (I assume) warned me to leave it alone before leaving.
