Some kind of Lichen spider? - Eustala anastera
Lake Mineral Wells State Park, Parker County, Texas, USA
October 30, 2014
Was in Lake Mineral Wells State Park and came across this spider that blended in perfectly with the lichen on the rocks.
I've tried to find it online, but have found nothing exactly like it. ID help would be very appreciated.

I guess not....
Someone has ID'd it as: Eustala anastera.
But, thank you.
