This one was crawling on my arm. I had just been cleaning up the aviary, so I suspect it was roaming around the litter at the bottom of the aviary.

Moved from Jumping Spiders. Rear femur is dark so this should be M. t. taeniola. See here.

A PDF document cited from the Metacyrba node indicates that since these spiders like to live in crevices and under leaf litter, some damage to the scales can result causing a change in the pattern of their markings. Considering that, I would like to point out that this particular spider molted 2 days prior to taking this photo, and it was in the container where I was rearing it for the interim. There is no way for it to have been damaged during that time.

Length is calculated from between the eyes to the tip of abdomen, using the photo frame as a loupe and assuming the 2x scale on my lens is accurate. I didn't photograph a scale using the same settings like I usually do.

Moved from ID Request.

Photos are taken through the plastic container. I'll try to get better photos later if I can figure out how to do so without losing the spider. The prey is a fruit fly, D. melanogaster, I think.
