it might just be a tan (or brown) jumping spider. uncreative name I know. that is in fact the name of the species.
Can you tell from this picture of possible age of this jumper?
haha. nope. I just Google a description of the spider and then look and look at the pictures and then choose the one that looks the most similar. that would be something @BugmanDan would know. the man is a spider genius.
Very hard to tell with most. Phidippus audax can be exception. Sub adults spots are often yellow then change to white with adult.
did I get it right though?
I don’t know so I can’t really answer your question
I’m not sure because I haven’t been able to clearly identify her with any breed. This female is pretty small though. About the size of a popcorn kernel. I was able to find her epigynum though it was hard because she’s just super small. @BugmanDan
I’m new to spider keeping and arachnology in general so I apologize for my lack of proper terms and my questions haha.
Welcome! It’s no problem. We like answering questions, nobody is born knowing this stuff. I just explained how spiders mate to my 81 year old father. He didn’t want to know. 😉
