ARBOREAL GRAB N GO KIT: Phidippus regius (Regal Jumping Spider) Juvenile 0.5"+

Phidippus regius, commonly known as the Regal Jumping Spider, is one of the largest and most charismatic species of jumping spiders in North America. Native to the southeastern United States and parts of the Caribbean, this diurnal hunter is beloved for its bold personality, inquisitive behavior, and remarkable vision. Adult females display shimmering silver or copper tones with bold black and white patterning, while males feature jet-black bodies accented by iridescent green or blue chelicerae that flash like polished metal. Unlike web-building spiders, P. regius uses silk primarily to create retreats for resting, molting, and egg-laying, spending most of its time actively stalking prey with cat-like precision. Intelligent, responsive, and visually engaging, the Regal Jumping Spider has become a favorite among arachnid enthusiasts and educational programs alike.
