I found this jumper a couple months ago in my van and brought her out to my elephant ear. I thought she left, until today! I was watering and out she came! She’s huge! I’m pretty sure she laid some eggs too! Her name is Myrtle. #boldjumpingspider #jumpingspider #ilovespiders #naturespestcontrol

A really shitty picture of my black wild-caught bold jumping spider (phiddipus audax), about pinky nail sized, holding and eating a yellowish lacewing. He sits on top of a pink 3D printed tamagatchi hide, as if that's how it's supposed to be used.
Another angle, slightly closer, you can see his dark silhouette better now.
Important pupdate:
He's eating

A bold jumping spider on some greenery. It is facing right. It is a small spider, mostly black, with two white stripes on its exterior, a yellowish spot on the lower end of its abdomen, and a white stripe near the top of its abdomen. The legs are yellow with white bands. There is also a large white mark on the back of the spider's head.

Bold Jumping Spider
The last few photos of my kitchen visitor. I suspect she hitched a ride indoors on my clothing while I was out in the wildlife gardens.
After taking a few photos I put it outside after learning that they can survive the winter outside.

Zooming up the window frame inside my kitchen. It looks like a smooth surface but the spider climbed it with ease.

Felt like
I was on a nature walk, that one time.
Bold Jumping Spider just caught a fly!
I almost overlooked it as they were very still while the Spider was immobilizing the fly... and at a glance I thought the two of them were simply bird poop.

A small black jumping spider is sitting on a hide. His chelicerae are green, which matches the hide pretty well.
A small jumping spider hangs upsidedown from a tiny fake plant in a miniature garden box. He is a very dedicated gardener.
boogie just passed away from dyskinetic syndrome. considering his age it wasn't entirely unexpected, but it still sucks, especially after losing paprika yesterday. i'd like to think she'll be the one to greet him 💚 #spider #jumpingspider #boldjumpingspider #phidippusaudax
A black jumping spider has his back facing the camera. He is enjoying a tiny cricket, and the pattern on his abdomen looks like a little happy jack-o'-lantern face to emphasize this.
i'm starting to gather materials to make boogie a retirement home. my little man is gonna be safe and festive this fall! 🎃 #spider #jumpingspider #boldjumpingspider #phidippusaudax
Inside of a jumping spider enclosure is a house shaped hide nestled in the top of a little tree. Of you look closely, you can see the black jumping spider inside the house.
A close up of the same little house to give a slightly better view of the jumping spider inside.
i've never seen boogie in his treehouse before!! he's been trying out new things lately 🥹 #spider #jumpingspider #boldjumpingspider #phidippusaudax

A miniature garden box has been made out of coffee stirring sticks. There is a couple tiny fake plants sprouting in it, and above is a rounded lattice. On the lattice is a jumping spider, looking down at the plants as if checking on them.

A small black is jumping resting inside of a cloud hide. Curly blue ribbon has been attached to the bottom of the cloud to look like rain.
The same jumping spider now sits on one of the curls of ribbon.
i finally caught boogie enjoying his little cloud! i've never seen him touch it before 🥰 #spider #jumpingspider #boldjumpingspider #phidippusaudax

And as I suspected... there's two. This one was only four feet away from the other in the False Sunflower
