Phidippus audax 1st and 2nd instar

!: Phidippus audax 1st and 2nd instar

These are the larger offspring of a wild-caught Phidippus audax from Washington State. I am absolutely inundated with their offspring, and i'm afraid one of my females is laying her third eggsac since I captured her. Oh man...I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with around 600 P.audax slings by the end of tomorrow... Thank god I can release the majority, although now it definitely doesn't surprise me that other Phids that were native to the area they lives are pretty much obsolete after these guys showed up in the 70's...they reproduce like CRAZY. Fun to note, the 2nd instar sling's eyes can be seen moving around near the end of the video.
