Description
The Phidippus carneus, commonly known as the Red Backed Jumping Spider, offers striking contrast with red abdominal markings, a dark body, and pale accents. The pictured specimens show a bold combination of colors that makes this jumper a standout subject for close-up observation and macro photography. Individual coloration and markings can vary.
Like other jumping spiders, this species hunts visually rather than relying on a prey-catching web. Watching a jumper track movement, explore climbing surfaces, and stalk prey brings a different kind of activity to an arachnid collection. Provide a secure, ventilated enclosure with climbing surfaces and sheltered attachment points for silk retreats.
