FILISTATIDAE: kukulcania arizonica
Both of these spiders appear to be one commonly brought in to our local agriculture department for Identification. Family Filistatidae and Genus Kukulcania arizonica. I presently have one in a critter cage and she is happier eating cellar spiders than small crickets, earwigs and sowbugs I have brought her.
