Moved from Sac Spiders.
Thanks Kevin. It surely is nice getting mature spiders, especially ones that can be readily identified like this. Another new species for the guide that you identified!

Clubiona...
(It's sooo nice to see a mature Clubiona specimen for a change.)

I should let you guess -- it's a one-species subgroup in the genus Clubiona...

Found in the leaf sheaves of cattails, among other places; the egg sac is placed within a folded grass blade. Range: "Minnesota to Ontario and Massachusetts, southward to Texas, Florida, and the West Indies" (Dondale & Redner, 1982)...








No question about the identity: Clubiona maritima L. Koch 1867

Beautiful specimen.

I think you're right with Clubiona. It looks a lot like this one, and hopefully the close ups of the palps will help too. If not, I always have the specimen for Kevin to examine later.

This looks more like
Clubiona than Anyphaenidae
but those two always make us pause.
