Phidippus arizonensis

With a name like arizonesis, it sounds as if Phidippus arizonensis is a Southwestern Phidippus species, and indeed it is.

Phidippus arizonensis can be found from Arizona through Texas.

Males can vary in color. The small tufts of hair spiking up on the head are also a good field identification guide.
