Short legged fat abdomen three separate orange dots. - Phidippus audax
Cleburne , Johnson County, Texas, USA
August 7, 2020
Size: Smaller than a quarter.
I went to take a spider that I found in my bedroom out the back door and this little one fell into my house. Immediately tried to hide under whatever it could. Did not want to be in the open. My guess is it was in the door catching bugs from last night where I had the light on. Velvet looking short legs very fat abdomen with three separate orange dots in kind of a triangular orientation.
