What a lucky find! It looks t
What a lucky find! It looks to be wet, was it placed in alcohol? It appears to be Ogcodes eugonatus (Loew, 1872). Its probably the O. marginatus Cole 1919 form of the species. It looks very close to the Harvard type specimen. The two species have been synonymized under O. eugonatus. Ev may have a different idea, but the genus is Ogcodes.

Thanks Dennis and Chris,
Wetness maybe do to the spider feeding on it or just shiny under seta? Thanks for the ID and information.
