Any comments on the photograp

Any comments on the photography technique? Was this dissected or just under alcohol?

Hi Ryan,

No, not dissected, but under alcohol. Just recently photographed, however, so it had a while to soak. And it was stored for most of that time in polypropylene glycol (non-toxic anti-freeze), which strikes me as a not-so-bad preservative.

Photographed under roughly 45x magnification (image cropped) with dual "power LED" lighting sources.

What do you think of the conclusion? (See my posting in the Arachnology Forum for a comparison of the two common species -- assuming I was right.)
