I was wondering when I'd find this spider again. When we first moved into the house I spotted one in the back yard. By the time I found my camera, it was gone. !Four years later! I find it again. This time our back yard is more attractive to it, I hope.
It's quite a lot like the big jumping spider I used to know in grad school, Phiddipus Audax. But it's got a red abdomen. Seems to have slightly smaller eyes, too.
