Tiny Little Life

My lens doesn’t quite capture the majesty of these green fangs.
Technically, “chelicerae”.

These are apparently called Phidippus Audax.
It looks like a Phiddip.

This jumping spider was finishing up its meal when I saw it.
It could fit comfortably on a dime.

If I had to guess, I’d say this is a sac spider with its young.

But I’m not completely sure.

This is the largest daring jumping spider I’ve ever seen, and in the time between when I first spotted it and when I got the picture, it managed to catch an even larger Katydid.
This is a fresh kill you’re looking at.

I found this excessively fattened spider on an overturned stew pot outside my friend’s place.

This waifishly thin spider was wandering around inside one of the windows at work.

Although there are a lot of dried insect carcasses here, there isn’t much live fare in a window for a spider to chase down.

Turned 90 degrees for clarity, you can see how skinny this guy really is.

Something about this type of spider, with its long and thin legs, is a little creepy to me.
This one inhabited my bulkhead, which is slowly rusting.

This spider could reach across my palm and beyond if it stretched its legs out. Its jaws look mushy.

This jumping spider is missing a leg.

What a shame.

Does this make him a stumpjumper?

Although the body shape is similar, this spider is very much not a Brown Recluse. In fact, as the picture shows, it’s neither brown nor reclusive.

I am at a loss for what type of spider it really is. Check out those jaws!

This picture is slightly blurry, but should give you an idea of […]

This spider was sitting quietly on a chestnut when I saw it.

Is this how spiders recline?

This spider’s jaws are so hairy that they resemble a mustache.
