Unk Jumper ID - Phidippus princeps
Seminole, Seminole County, Oklahoma, USA
November 1, 2012
This is a new jumper to my fence. I don't believe I've seen this particular coloration before, though I wondered if it might be a sub-adult male of the P. mystaceus? It reminds me of the male mystaceus I find on my fence with the particular black hairs framing the eyes, but the color is all wrong. Any help would be appreciated!

Moved to genus page for now
Moved from Jumping Spiders. Those dark tufts of hairs on the carapace place this girl in the genus Phidippus. It might be a P. princeps. Look there in the guide while you wait for someone to narrow it further.

I wondered...
Its about the same size of the adult males, but I've never seen pictures of immature mystaceus. I know spiders can differ widely between their immature and mature look. My chain link fence, for whatever reason, seems to be a haven for the P. mystaceus spiders. I commonly have a few females, males, or both on the fence during the season that they are out and active.
