Wow
you really found some good spiders! Filistatids are one of the most unique spider families out there.
Reminds me of the arizonica I found in El Centro, CA. I'll try to confirm.

Thanks
this was a dandy! We found it right after my brother dug a big hole under a sidewalk. I'm not sure if that's what brought it out or not, though.
