P. clarus

This is a beautiful Phidippus clarus. The fact that we can see all four sets of spots indicates that this is not P. pius or P. cardinalis. P. clarus is an extremely variable species, especially in the females.

Moved from typical audax.
I think this one may have been moved to P. audax instead of to genus by mistake. :)

Moved for expert attention.

Moved from Jumping Spiders. This is one of the Phidippus jumpers. I've moved it to the genus page to see if we can narrow it down.

Moved from ID Request. Moved so the jumper folks can take a look. Beautiful spider!

Thank you for the move, but

I'm surprised that this wasn't a straightforward ID, since Amy Goodman got her information about her P. cardinalis from you!

I agree also with kyrontf...

Your individual has some banding on the legs and some color difference. They can be very hard to ID sometimes! Your spider also reminds me of this P.whitmani as well:

I'm not an expert

P. cardinalis is a possibility in my mind, however this spider does look a bit different from Amy's (and other P. cardinalis I've seen so far). Since I'm not an expert I wouldn't feel confident about making the move.

Maybe P. cardinalis

This spider that I photographed earlier this summer:

was determined to be a P. cardinalis. I love their color!

Thank you, Amy!

This looks like a good match, and your photo is wonderful!

Wow, that is a neat looking s

Wow, that is a neat looking spider:) Great pic by the way. I am not sure what kind he or she is but jumping spider comes to mind. Jumping spiders are the only spider with flat faces. Some spiders do not have a total of 8 eyes. some have less. even some have non at all. crazy how nature works sometimes.
