The Bahama Regal Jumping Spider (Phidippus regius “Bahama”) is a naturally occurring white color variant of the species, notable for its pale, almost ghostly appearance. Females in particular often exhibit a clean white or silvery-grey carapace and abdomen, with subtle black markings that vary between individuals. This coloration isn’t just visually striking—it’s also a point of interest for those studying regional variation and potential genetic influences within the species. Like other P. regius, they’re diurnal hunters with excellent vision, relying on their large anterior eyes to stalk and pounce on prey.
