M. pallidus male - Mallos pallidus -

Sites, Colusa County, California, USA
May 24, 2017
Size: 2.5 mm

I beat this adult male dictynid from an oak tree. The appearance and palp match this species, the only Mallos expected in this area. Also posted a female from the same location and date. This species was abundant on oak trees here today.
