Phidippus Nikites Jumping Spiders for Sale in the UK

Phidippus nikites is a smaller  species within the Phidippus genus, prized for its subtle beauty and remarkable color transformation throughout its life stages. Native to parts of the southeastern United States, this species has become increasingly popular among jumping spider enthusiasts due to its manageable size and unique appearance.

​

Juveniles begin life with a translucent, creamy-white coloration that provides excellent camouflage in their natural habitat. As they mature, their coloration shifts to a soft orange, eventually intensifying into a vivid burnt-orange top with a contrasting dark, almost black underside. This striking coloration makes mature specimens particularly photogenic and appealing in bioactive or display enclosures.

​

Despite their small size, P. nikites are alert and inquisitive, often displaying playful behaviours typical of the Phidippus genus.
