Another Cybaeus sp. - Cybaeus signifer - Male
Cowichan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
July 31, 2012
Size: ~9mm body length
Found this guy behind a board together with this female, a couple of centimeters away:

As she was immature, maybe he was waiting for her to molt?

I'm hoping they're the same species. Sorry for the strange angles on the palp shots. I wasn't able to get a clear view. I won't be releasing him until tomorrow, so I can give it another go if necessary.

From Rod Crawford
The female is definitely C. signifer. The male seems to be so also, although it's somewhat harder to tell because the palp is seen from non-standard angles. RC

Moved from Spiders.
