Moved
Moved from Misumenops.

Moved
Moved from Celer Crab Spider.

Misumenops sierrensis
Look at a new possibility here. But more likely just Misumenops celer.

 
Yes, M. celer's got it.
Thanks, Lynette. It's a first for California. Now I'll go in search of M. sierrensis...

 
Sorry to butt in -
but wondering how we got this one to species? Did you send this one to Dr. Vincent, Ron? Not sure one can be sure it's celer based on the pattern here?

 
Uncertain at this point.
I think it was from Lynette's comment above. I'm sure Dr. Vincent wasn't involved. If I remember correctly, I posted a series of unknowns to ID request. See this post and Harsi's note on it:


I've dropped it back to genus and corrected the date shot, which was light by a year.

 
I was wondering...
...when someone would add one of these from CA. Way to go!
