Jumping spider (Phidippus clarus), male

Another view of this large jumping spider with the spectacular green fangs. These are apparently a fairly common species, but I don't see them that often, unfortunately. For a view of the beautifully patterned red abdomen, take a look at the next image.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/320s f/2.8 at 5.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Oh this is awesome! Love the eyes. He reminds me of a Studebaker for some reason. LOL BV

Wow, look at those fangs! I saw one of these recently but it wasn't in a good spot for a photo. You got a great shot!
