The various Jumping Spider species (Phidippus species) shown on this page have not been confidently identified to species. Many or all may be variations of Phidippus texanus, and/or Phidippus arizonensis, but this is uncertain. The first two shots show a jumping spider on a rusty barbed wire fence in Austin, Travis Co., Texas, in November, 2009. These shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and a Sigma 150mm F/2.8 Macro. |
