Tan Jumping Spider (Male)

Platycryptus undatus

Description:

My mom and sisters found this in the kitchen, and I took it outside for some pictures. Males, such as this one, have an orange stripe under the front four eyes. This is the easiest way to distinguish males and females of this species.

Habitat:

My house. I've seen one individual of this species on a tree. Every other one I can ever recall seeing was in my house or on the outside of it.

Notes:

It's been a while since I've photographed this species, since we see them so much, so I decided to get some pictures this time with a slightly different setup.
