I finally found him! I had to wait a year, but I got my male Phidippus insignarius. Not only that, but a female was with him and I got shots of him doing his courtship display. Those photos will be posted later (I still need to finish posting the rest of my images from last year and sort/edit the ~ 25,000 I've taken this year) but I had to post a quick pic of this guy since I've been waiting so long to find him.
