Phidippus Regius
This is one of the rarest colored P. Regius females that I ever came across in North Florida. The orange ones were most common, of course, but every so often I would come across a grey/white colored one, but this day I found this yellowish/cream colored girl. What is really strange is the fact that her chelicerae are green (usually this only applies to males). She was a very large, healthy specimen as well. One of my coolest finds during this time of working with jumping spiders. I shot her in her natural habitat (here), then took her home for a quick studio session, and immediately returned her to the location where I found her.
These shots are prepped for a spread in the book I'm working on currently, that will show my photography catalog of many Salticidae species shot and collected in North America.

Dancing in a Dream
Surreal scenes at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Undoubtedly one of the strangest places on earth. A few miles down the road I was shooting at the edge of the flats, and unexpectedly sunk up to my waist in legitimate quicksand.
