Phidippus audax
Medium sized Jumping Spider. Brownish coloration with bright orange markings on dorsal abdomen. Reddish-brown banding on legs. Bright metallic green mandibles. This species is usually black with white and gray markings.
Suburban backyard garden.
This spider has odd coloration for it's species. It is most likely an atypical variation, though I haven't found many that look exactly like this one. She may be a juvenile. For images of other atypical variations of this species: http://bugguide.net/node/view/35320/bgim...
