A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Paraphidippus cf. fartilis
White jumping spider with orange and black details on the back
I found it close to a pool in San José, Costa Rica, there was vegetation around so maybe it came from there. The spider jumped in my neck, I thought It was a wasp, I think that may be why it's missing two legs as you can see in the pictures, I feel really guilty and sad about it.. I brought it home and made it a comfortable house, it is still with me and i'm taking good care of It. Does anyone know It is male or female?

Hello Lucky21 and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/216... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
