Comments & ID Thoughts
Found this little friend just outside my door in rural Nova Scotia! My guess was possibly a pregnant female jumping spider, but does anyone have any ideas of which type it may be? I'm certainly no expert. Certainly a cutie, either way! I wasn't able to get an angle of the face so hopefully this photo does it justice.

This is a female Phidippus purpuratus, one of our larger and most striking Jumping Spiders.
PS For some reason, this is showing up as if the sighting is in NB, not NS.
Amazing, thank you so much!! Definitely one of the most beautiful spiders I’ve met to date. And yes, I’ve tried editing the location and even emailed support about it but sadly it still lists NB, ahaha. Luckily you still stumbled upon it 🙂
