Suburban yard spider, Northern California - Menemerus semilimbatus
Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, USA
October 18, 2012
Size: Approximately 2 cm
A small, presumably common spider seen in suburban Sacramento. It walks the side of the house while hunting, rather than spinning and waiting in a web. I also have photos of its front side if that helps ID it. Thanks!
