Apache Coral Bean CB Spiderling

Description

The Phidippus apacheanus Apache Coral Bean CB Spiderling is one of our favorite color morphs to list.

These are available as small, young spiderlings at 3rd instar. Date of birth is 02/08/26. Watch your spider grow up! They are currently feeding on D. melanogaster fruit flies (related products below). It may be of interest to know that at third instar, these are the same size as fourth instar regals. They have been feeding on fruit flies since they were born.

Limit one per customer until we have a bunch molt and are able to release more at once.

If you see this listing as sold out, get on the waiting list. We have many more to come and as of 4/9 are just starting to list the ones that are beginning to molt to 3rd instar.

The mother of the spiderlings being sold on this page is the main picture on this page. She is a beautiful coral color and we named her Coral Bean after our beloved, local coral bean plant which drops beans of this same color through washes in the desert habitat, from which this spider also occurs. Her legs are black with whitish-gray hairs and her eyelashes are black. Her face is white and her chelicerae are metallic green. We’ve only ever seen three females with this coloration and her vibrancy sets her apart from most other Apache jumping spiders. Her offspring will not necessarily reflect her coloration, but we are committed to showing you what each mother looks like…because people like information. The father had normal coloration for the species (which is always insanely beautiful!).

Phidippus apacheanus is arguably the most attractive native jumper species in the United States. Adult males are very brightly colored, often two-tone and adult females are typically a yellow-tan to orangey-gray color. Leg coloration varies a bit from individual to individual too. Best of all, the species is strikingly colored through all stages of the life cycle. From sling to juvenile to adult, the variability in patterning and color from molt to molt will make you feel like you’ve had multiple pet spiders along the way, and these are as photogenic as they come! You can click the secondary thumbnail photo to see what a slightly older juvenile tends to look like.

Even the young spiderlings of this species are absolutely striking and more colorful, no offense to gorgeous regals, than any regal jumping spiderling of similar age ever is.
