Phidippus on garage window - Phidippus tyrrelli

Phidippus on garage window - Phidippus tyrrelli
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
November 11, 2013
Size: BL ~9.5
This spider reminds us of the just identified Phidippus comatus #1054202, except perhaps a younger instar. It's smaller and the legs are red and black striped, among other differences. This spider was on the inside of a garage window in almost mid-November. Here it is spinning a strand of silk. Any help with its ID is much appreciated.

Hmmm...
I'm still learning about this genus, but don't rule out P. asotus too quickly either.


 
Phidippus asotus
Thanks so much for pointing out P. asotus. These spiders are so variable with their different sexes and instars and there are so many lookalikes!
