This appears to be a female Phidippus carneus. Where did you find her?

My guess is Phidippus johnsoni the largest of the jumping spiders.

I think it's a Phidippus johnsoni too. I have one and they both look the same. I went through alot of pictures and I got johnsoni though it is NOT the largest of the jumping spiders. It was that other one that starts with an "O" in it's species name.

you are correct. My post should have read 'one of the largest jumping spiders'

The "o" one you are referring to is Phidippus octopunctatus

Yes, you are correct. My original thought of carneus was incorrect. I didn't notice that you had stated Wilbur, Washington either.

She was found under a rock, in her nest.

Thanks guys!
