Field Notes

Description:

They are so small. Maybe 1/4 inch and so difficult to capture. (Always jumping) This is a real blue beauty. My only photo. (cropped it to get a better view) Might be Bold Jumping Spider. (Have a back view of another one like this)

Habitat:

Meadow in the Poconos

I have another one just like it front and back in my old photos somewhere. But a bit blurry - jumping all around, of course! HA!

They sure are! Nice spotting! Phidippus is by far my favorite species with their colors and personality :) I think you're right with Bold Jumper but can't confirm without a full body shot.

Thanks Cindy! They are hard to take a photo of. It looks so cute and love the color.
