Phidippus asotus CB Spiderling

Description

Now offering Phidippus asotus CB spiderlings. Though adults are sometimes colored in pinks and reds, the young spiderlings we are offering here are cryptic in coloration with shades of gray, black and sometimes white. Some of them may develop colors as they grow.

Update: 6/24- Babies should be ready in late June. Please get on the waiting list if you’d like to be notified when they are ready.

Spiderlings have nice coloration despite being young.

No tarantula can compare with the antics of a jumping spider in terms of entertainment. Studies have been done documenting the “intelligence” of these spiders as they strategize their attacks on prey. You can almost see them thinking as they direct their large eyes back and forth planning their next leap, even series of leaps to their destination.

Note: photos on this page reflect coloration of older specimens.

More photos of this species can be found on Bugguide, here.
