Otiosus Jumping Spider “Candy Puff”

🩷🕷️ Meet “Candy Fluff” – A Sweet and Dreamy Canopy Jumper! 🩷🕷️

Introducing Candy Fluff, a female Phidippus otiosus (Canopy Jumping Spider) who brings a soft, serene presence to any collection. Native to the southeastern United States, this species prefers life high in the treetops, where they build silken retreats in bark crevices and leafy hideaways.

Candy Fluff is no exception—she moves with a calm, measured curiosity, perfectly embodying the laid-back nature P. otiosus are known for. Unlike the bold and flashy Phidippus regius, Canopy Jumpers tend to be more reserved and gentle, often favoring slow exploration over rapid bursts of activity. With her soft hues and peaceful demeanor, Candy Fluff is ideal for keepers who appreciate a more mellow spider with subtle beauty.

Due to this spider being Field Collected, we do not know the exact age/molt or whether or not it is gravid. We do our best to only source spiders that appear younger than mature; however, we cannot guarantee this. For that reason, we cannot guarantee any spider is not gravid, unless stated as Captive Bred
