I found another philodromid l
I found another philodromid last spring that had similar long legs after its final molt (but the body is about 5mm on that one). Here's a picture of the penultimate instar:

It molted a couple of weeks after this picture and the legs became very long in relation to the body. You wouldn't have thought it was the same spider, other than the dark grey coloring, which it retained as an adult. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to ID it yet. I had it out last night and the palp is so close to 3 other species I just wasn't able to tell them apart. This one will take some work! Also, unfortunately, I don't believe I took any habitus photos of it as an adult, either. Still, when I do get it ID'd I'll post the subadult picture here to BG. Perhaps next season I'll come across another one and will get an adult habitus pic then.
