Subject: Bold Jumping Spider, Phidippus audax, with prey

Location: Upshur County, West Virginia

Stock Number: 5838

Comment: Bigger than many of the Jumping Spiders, and often found in close proximity to humans (inside or outside their houses). While not visible in this photo, one of the noteable features of this spider is the metallic green set of appendages near the mouth, the chelicera.
