chonk spider - Phidippus
Ridgeway, Iowa County, Wisconsin, USA
July 10, 2021
Size: 3-9 mm
This spider seems to have the body style of a jumper spider. It is totally black, could that be because it is young? These are my 3 best shots. He/she didn't move much while I was taking pics. thanks for any info...

Moved from ID Request. Likely P. audax.

It's probably P. audax
It's probably P. audax, nearly fully grown considering the size. It's a very variable species, some don't have spots and are solid black.

Looks like
maybe Phiddipus audax?
