Segestria? - Segestria pacifica
Purisima Creek Redwoods OSP, San Mateo County, California, USA
October 15, 2009
Size: 8 mm
I found this six-eyed spider at night on a wooden fence near a mixed coast redwood forest. It was feeding on an alate dampwood termite. I'm pretty sure it is a Segestria sp - there are two species in my area, I think... I'm not sure if this is an immature or haplogyne female.
