Moved from ID Request. I added another scape shot, plus a bunch in frass in case you want something else.

Yes,
I like both scape shots... and I added your frontal eye shot as well. Thanks.

Verrucosa arenata ?
Super long scape. I hope it is we need a ventral/scape image of this one.

Suggestion
You might consider expanding the "scape" entry in BG's glossary to explain the term's usage in Spiderland. For those not up on their arachnid anatomy (me, for instance), it could save a trip to Google. :)

Google gives BugGuide a penny
every time someone leaves this site and goes to theirs. :-)
