Aging otiosus - Phidippus otiosus - female

Aging otiosus - Phidippus otiosus - Female
Marion County, Florida, USA
Size: 16mm
Adding higher quality image of specimen that was collected in November of '05. She must be at least a year and half in age, possibly two years old. I collected her as an adult from the side of a transformer. She laid her third eggsac in September after going several months without producing any. She has trouble climbing smooth surfaces, which is typical of an aging jumping spider.
