Lepto - Leptogaster - Female
Richland Creek Wilderness, Searcy County, Arkansas, USA
June 9, 2007
Size: 14mm
True Leptogaster genus. We are still trying to decide on species (we took some and I got the female). I know several that it is not. One other shot of one eating a small spider it gleaned, not very clear unfortunately.

Caught a male and it appears to be Leptogaster flavipes, one that we have been looking for.
