ground spider - Sosticus insularis - male

ground spider - Sosticus insularis - Male
Buckingham, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
May 8, 2013
Size: Body 6 mm.
Laura, I went back to the original photo and recropped, but I don't think it helps much with the eyes. Sorry but this is all I have. As to the size, I don't think I included the palps (I was much newer at this back then), but my "precision", without using a decimal, indicates that the measurement was +/- 1 mm. That would have been holding a ruler up to the outside of the plastic cage. I note that Bradley, on Plate 42, indicates that TBL for male Sosticus insularis is 4.8-6.0 mm.
