(two photos) - Phidippus audax
While watching some tiny little flies, bees or wasps (so tiny I can't tell) flying above the Alyssum in my planter box, I
noticed a striped insect on a stem. At first I thought it must be a tiny bee but then I realized it was probably a spider.
My next thought was that it could be a Zebra Jumpier. I took a few photos and to my surprise it was a little Bold
Jumper. I think it's going to have trouble catching those elusive fliers overhead. Below is a cropped
photo of the little thing. © Carol Davis 7-17-2016
I'm going to keep trying to take pictures of the tiny flying insects, but I don't hold much hope because
they're tinier than this spider. © Carol Davis 7-17-2016
