Phidippus audax mating 20 April 2017 3.  20 April 2017, #3 female  Phidippus produced an egg sac though she had not mated. Note:   #1 female had extra large abdomen with orange markings on dorsal side of abdomen.  She was not anxious to mate with the male though he made several attempts. I think this photo is of them mating.  Number 2 female was more receptive and I think the mating was also successful.
