Adult Male - Pardosa xerampelina - Male
Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada
June 17, 2010
Size: BL = 6 mm
A small, transparent mite of some kind is visible in the lower right area of the palp. I've seen these is the palps of several Pardosa sp. but I don't know if they are just along for the ride or are parasitizing the spider or if there is some kind of symbiosis going on.
