Phidippus audax Jumping Spider
My son (4 years old) was playing in the vine house in our back yard, looking for radioactive spiders. He found the largest jumping spider I've ever seen and made friends with it. He described this Phidippus audax (bold, daring jumping spider) as having "beautiful green jaws".
