Unidentified Spider from Charleston SC
Charleston, Charleston County, South Carolina, USA
May 24, 2009
Size: ~1.5" long
Found this one up on the ceiling this evening. It has a bright red head and very long, thin body. I tried to figure out what kind it was through some internet searching with no luck, but that's how I stumbled across this site. Hopefully someone can help me identify it.

We would suggest something in the Anyphaenidae
Looks like it hasn't eaten in a long time! The large palps indicate it is a male.
