Many different color variations of the jumping spider, Phidippus clarus, are found from coast to coast.

Males tend to have patterened, red abdomens, and females tend to have brown abdomens.

The spots and stripes on the abdomen are pretty standard, but not always present. Dull colored, banded legs also standard.
