L. geometricus male - Latrodectus geometricus - Male
Hurlburt Field, FL, Okaloosa County, Florida, USA
Size: body ~2.7mm w/o pedipalps
Close-up. Not sure if this image breaks any rules, but it seemed good enough to warrant posting here.
Not sure if this guy is full-grown or not. Seems smaller than the average male size given in the info page here (I think it was here).
