Scytodes
So, S. atlacoya, S. longipes, and now S. globula all kinda blend together in my head. How does one tell them apart?

The
majority of longipes images will probably end up on the atlacoya page, and a few under globula. There may not be any actual longipes images. I misplaced almost all of the images that are/were on the longipes page, luckily Zepp and others caught it.

Longipes is at least in the FL Keys in the US, not sure if introduced elsewhere in US. Working on getting the images corrected the next few days. The difference between atlacoya/globula should be a little more clear as soon as images straight.

Given a recent observation of Scytodes atlacoya in NC, I am no longer certain how to distinguish S. atlacoya from S. longipes.
