    This bold jumper was found on my kitchen door to the deck. At the first sighting it was young furry and had a yellow dot on his back. A few weeks later, the spot turned white.

    Friend of mine found a nice female in his home and brought it into work this morning. I have access to a nice new Zeiss microscope and if I can take some pictures later today, I will amend this observation.

    Found it in my bathroom. Threw it outside. Got a good look at it in the cup. First spider I've ever seen with green on it.

    Phidippus audax (Nikki J. Breidenbaugh [May 10, 2008])This male was enjoying a lunch on my hostas.  He was very anxious and quickly jumped beneath the leaves.

    4 Individuals seen at Blue Mounds State Park, perched on rocks, and one on my tent!  One of the last nice days of the year, with sunshine temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s.

    One Male hanging out on some grass in the garden.  He was very active and unwilling to be photographed!

    These were all over  the place this weekend.  I counted at least 10 individuals in a grassy field near my beehives (the same area where I found yellow garden spiders earlier this summer).  Many other species of spiders present as well.

    I was gardening and found this spider in among my daylillies as I was cutting them back.  Had I known it was a jumping spider I would have never gotten near it.  It never acted aggressive and barely moved when we caught it.  What impressed me about it was it's size and the green irridescent? fangs. (I know that is not what they are but am not sure of the proper name)  Now I'm not sure what to do with it?  I also don't know if it is a male or female.  Any idea how to tell?

    Located on the south-facing windows of a newly constructed building.  Although the building is unheated, the sun creates a relatively warm microclimate.  Two P.audax females were seen on the windows, along with many flies and fly carcasses -- some showing webbing.
