Hamataliwa grisea - female

Hamataliwa grisea - Female
Orange County, Florida, USA
Size: BL 9mm
This type of nocturnal 'sit and wait' hunting technique is used by H. grisea as an alternative to hanging (see linked image).

Legs 1 are held in an elevated position to aid in prey detection.
This may be compensation for poor night vision. H. grisea is a diurnal 'sit and wait' hunter as well, but legs 1 are not elevated in this manner.
