Regal jumping spiders (Phidippus regius) are one of the world’s largest jumping spiders. Endemic to the southeast US, mostly Florida, where they can be quite common among low vegetation in open, sunny habitats and prefer to make their silk lairs on palmetto fronds.

They’re probably also the best-known species of jumper, mostly in the context of being kept as pets. They often charm even individuals who are otherwise arachnophobes, though I think their undeniable cuteness can make people overlook the fact that they’re incredibly formidable predators even by spider standards, able to use their excellent vision and reflexes to stalk and subdue large, dangerous prey. Awhile back I saw one eating another venomous predator, a wheel bug (Arilus cristatus) that was at least twice the size of the jumper.

@cosmic-vulture submitted: my lovely girl ophelia having a nice meal! she's a regal jumping spider :) sorry for the blurry picture, she's still really small.

Please tell her that I love her! My regal jumper, Mina, just laid a clutch of (infertile) eggs and she's been very diligently guarding them. Proud of her.

[entomolog-t]

what kind of jumping spider id betty?

OOOH! Betty is a Regal Jumping spider (Phidippus regius)

I am still working a bit on her final design but I'm pretty set on her being his Regal little princess.

I might make her a fictive sub species (or possibly a fictive species with the genus) to allow for a little more freedom with her design.

---

OKAY WAIT SCREAMING!

I went to pull some images up to show why I chose the species and I FOUND HER??

So keep in mind I just mixed together specific phenotypes I liked in P. regius- like she is not based on one spider.

Like her coloration, leg bands, little heart butt, and pink chelicerae were all individually decided-

THIS IS AN OPEN WIP RN

AND THIS IS A PICTURE I JUST FOUND

I AM SCREAMING

#ITS LITERALLY HER?? #THIS IS AMAZING #DHRHDHSJSJS #i now have some really good references for her design 😭 #Regal jumping spider #phidippus regius #BettyOC #cw spider #TSWC #AskEnto #The Shadow we Cast
