Large Diamond-Backed Jumper (Female)

You are right. I have changed it! :D

Thanks! And...I think your name is great! Or maybe, Large Diamond-backed Jumper (rolls off the tongue a little nicer). ;)

Btw, your photo is epic!

Thanks Forest Dragon. We should come up with a cooler name for this guy, like Large Diamond-Backed Jumping Spider. Sound good to you? :D

jgorneau, it seems it is also called the Tan Jumping Spider. Kind of a boring name if you ask me.
Here is a picture of a big guy I spotted last summer I think. I think it's a male.

I have since updated a much better macro of his eyes! :D

Forest Dragon, do you know his real common name? Thanks.

Thanks Forest Dragon! I love these spiders too!

I love the Platycryptus undatus. We have lots of them here. I just ran across a big female like this one on Friday when I was in the shed! Nice spot!

Thanks Karen!

Thanks for the ID, too!

Awesome shot!
The species is Platycryptus undatus.
