This large member of the Salticidae (jumping spiders) is a <i><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Phidippus_octopunctatus" title="Phidippus octopunctatus">Phidippus octopunctatus</a></i>, female, 16 mm. She is comparatively heavy-bodied for a jumping spider, and much larger that most other species of the Salticidae. While being photographed she was quite calm. These spiders do not have a reputation for being aggressive, but are surely capable of delivering defensive bites.
