Folding Door Spider - Antrodiaetus pacificus - male

Folding Door Spider - Antrodiaetus pacificus - Male
Puyallup, Pierce College, Pierce County, Washington, USA
August 29, 2008
Size: 10-12 mm
Found in my office at work, but we are very close to a door to the outside. It has missing legs, so the large things in front are the pedipalps. I'm in a hurry, but I'll get better shots later in the day.
