Lachesilla anna Sommerman - Lachesilla anna - Opelika, Lee County, Alabama, USA April 16, 2011 Size: 2.3 mm
Caught on Eleagnus. This golden eyed beauty has "clasper shafts straight at apex". This is relative to several species that have strongly outcurved claspers. On slide mounted specimens you can see a "tooth before apex" to separate it from L. penta. ID verified by Mockford.
