Doing it Western Style - Acalymma trivittatum - Male Female
Tonopah Desert, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
May 18, 2015
Size: 7mm ♀, 6mm ♂
Note, the female has a large light-colored band on the hing-leg tibiae. The male does not. However, I don't know if this dimorphic feature is consistent for all members in this species.
