Sac Spider - Castianeira longipalpa - female

Sac Spider - Castianeira longipalpa - Female
Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
August 31, 2003
Found in lawn with gravel. Speedy. Mild ant-mimic; does not appear to hold first pair of legs up while moving but rather uses them in a tactile manner. I have doubts it belongs to this genus but probably belongs to the Sac family. This individual is 0.3 inch.
