Stunning photos. She is beautiful. I wonder why it is that they always face us. I don't know of any other spiders that do this. It makes me thing they are intelligent.
KarenL, thank you for the information on this beautiful Spider, with your help I went into a search that was very amazing..I even found out that it was a Female!! Thank you again.
Lovely series Gilma! Paraphidippus aurantius's range extends from the southern US states into Central America.
How colourful! They're interesting creatures, too clever for their size :)
Lovely, I like your write up about how it always wants to face you and see what you are doing! Adorable!
Nice series and what nice colors this spider has
