Planed for shot,
Wow thats amazing looking. Nice find.
I think you nailed it with adumbratus! Thanks, Cindy!
I have a contact name and email of a Phidippus expert in the LA area if you'd like it.
I don't believe P. Johnsoni have white faces or just distinct striped legs. They do have black heads and orange abdomens. I believe this is from the insignarius group. Possibly Phidippus adumbratus since there seems to be a faint orange spot on the top of the cephalothorax. But then I'm not a spider expert, just a Phidippus lover :)
Fun video as always!
