Phidippus regius 5th instar! - Male and Female?

from Princess and Sting, I believe so far only three are showing scaling that hints at the orange morph, which means I may have three females for sure. The orangey scaled spiderling here is the largest of the three. The black and white one may or may not be a male. I wouldn't mind getting some giant black form P. regius, even if the orange morph is a lot prettier.

They are a bit bigger, but I know the 6th instar is going to be the one to really add size, especially on an improved diet of crickets and termites and larger flies! No more bland fruit flies for these guys.

I think this is Phidippus audax, since it has green rather than blue chelicerae.
