Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

(Underside) I think this may be a Tan Jumping Spider, but the location is wrong - Colorado. Possibly female - she has black chelicerae but I can’t really tell if they are fuzzy.

In this picture you can discern that the pedipalps of the spider appear to be swollen. Making this spider a male. However, the pedipalps do not appear to be fully formed. Meaning this is a penultimate male that will molt one more time in its life before finally becoming sexually mature. This section of SpiderID I’m citing shows off a few examples of penultimate males. https://spiderid.com/pictures/?fwp_attributes=penultimate

Also the other picture you submitted looks like it could be either Platycryptus undatus or Platycryptus californicus. I’m not positive of which species it is. Could go either way.

Thanks ! I suppose Platycryptus californicus is more likely given the location. That’s awesome.
