Unknown Spider - Philodromus praelustris
Southern, Maine, USA
August 7, 2004
At first I thought this might have been a fishing spider of some kind but the body shape does not look right as the abdomen is to flat and broad. And it does'nt really look like a wolf spider to me either. So any clues on this one?
