I learned I have a few. Can I see some pics of their life stages and sexes from you guys please?

I'll get back to you on the pics, though you can find some on Google, I bet.
After Hurricane Ike, I've gained what seems to be a female Phidippus Audax. She's either adult or almost adult, her spots are barely orange, mostly white.
I can tell you that as they grow to adulthood, the spots on their back change to white. Younger spiders can have orange or red spots on their back.
Adult males have small bulbs at the end of their forceps as always, for mating purposes. Females are simply bigger...
I hope this helps!
