Canopy Jumping Spider – Sling (Phidippus otiosus) ~i5+

Graceful and ghostlike, the Phidippus otiosus, or Canopy Jumping Spider, is a more secretive cousin to the popular regius. Native to the southeastern U.S., this elegant species prefers life high in the trees — and thrives in setups that mimic that airy, elevated habitat.

These slings are I3+, unsexed, and captive bred. P. otiosus is known for its slender build, shimmering iridescence, and slightly shy temperament. While not as bold as some other jumpers, they make rewarding display pets for experienced keepers or patient beginners looking to enjoy something a little different.
