Tibellus? - Tibellus - Female
Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, Santa Clara County, California, USA
June 30, 2009
Size: Body about 8 mm
This spider patiently posed atop a fence post while I took a bunch of photos. I thought the body looked like a Tetragnathid in shape and posture, but that ID didn't fit otherwise, and the environment (dry grassland) seemed wrong. Tibellus in the Philodromidae seems to fit. Saw another, more active, individual running across a nearby trail a few days later. Can anyone confirm my ID?

Tibellus sp.
It's definitely Tibellus sp.
