Adult Male - Pirata piraticus - Male
Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada
May 5, 2010
Size: BL ~ 6 mm
Pirata cf. piraticus

He molted the other day, inside the web, so is probably mature now. Since then he's stayed pretty much in the web, but comes out every now and then for a drink of water. He caught a fly I put in the container, then brought it back to his web to eat it. The web is larger now, with a new "chamber" above the old one.
