Common House Jumping Spider
The most common jumping spider that is found homes in North America is the Phidippus audax, also known as the daring jumping spider and the bold jumper. Adults rarely grow larger than one inch. Some common house jumping spiders appear black with white markings along the abdomen, while others are iridescent and feature metallic green chelicerae.
Jumping spiders are particularly abundant in grassland and prairie environments, where they prey upon bollworms, cotton leaf worms, webworms, cotton flea hoppers, stinkbugs, leafhoppers and mosquitoes. Jumping house spiders also enter indoor habitats. These arachnids can be found in yards, as well as inside and surrounding barns and houses. Jumping spiders commonly reside near doorjambs and windowsills.
