Phidippus arizonensis is a vividly colored jumping spider native to the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico.
 
Belonging to the Salticidae family, Phidippus arizonensis—often called the Arizona jumping spider—is known for its striking black, orange, and white markings, with males typically more vibrant than females. Adults range from 6 to 15 mm in length and possess large, forward-facing eyes that grant excellent vision for stalking prey. Rather than spinning webs, they actively hunt small insects using their powerful jumps and keen eyesight. Males perform elaborate courtship dances to attract mates, and females lay eggs in silk sacs hidden in vegetation or under rocks
