Agave Jumping Spider

Description

The Paraphidippus basalis Agave Jumping Spider is a large species that rivals regal jumping spiders but lives among agaves and similarly shaped plants in the Arizona Sky Islands. As they grow, a deep yellow-orange to red-orange band develops on their abdomen. They also have white speckles on their abdomens.

Captive-bred spiderlings available. Young but they come out of the sac the size of 4th instar regal jumpers. Feeding easily on fruit flies.
