crassiuscula it is!

Nina,
I think yours is C. crassiuscula too. However, there is a huge amount of variability in pattern and sizes in both C. crassiuscula and erechtea and sometimes it is really difficult to separate this two species without a dissection.

in the Genus Caenurgina. My guess would be C. erechtea. Hopefully someone else will add there ID as I have been wrong more than once. 8-)

I'd say Gary is correct. I ha
I'd say Gary is correct. I had a similar specimen a few weeks back--I'm probably 50 or 60 miles from the one you have here.

Here's my pic for comparison.
