Phidippus audax is a common North American jumping spider recognized by its iridescent green chelicerae and distinctive abdominal patterning. Adults range from 6–15 mm in body length, with females larger than males. The species is active during daylight hours, using exceptional stereoscopic vision to stalk and pounce on prey rather than building capture webs. It has been introduced to Hawaii, the Nicobar Islands, the Azores, and the Netherlands.
