spider with big time "tails" - Euagrus chisoseus -

Austin south of Colorado River, Travis County, Texas, USA
June 24, 2011
Size: fit under a quarter maybe

This spider has been seen several times in the garage and in the house. It is very hard to get pictures of, because it sucks in light like a black hole. This picture had flash plus a flashlight and I still had to lighten it up in psp.

This spider has plenty of large appendages. So many that when I took the first set of pictures, in the utility room next to the water heater (not shown), I figured it was a spider sitting on an insect.

This is a fairly small spider that would just about fit under a quarter, maybe with a tarsus sticking out.

I don't know much about these, but there is a drawing in one of my guides of Euagrus comstocki that has those long spinnerets. The genus is found in TX.

Thanks. There is also a line drawing of a Euagrus at Wiki. The tails are long enough. The type specimens for E. comstocki are from the Rio Grande Valley. What bugs are there, I am discovering, are also often here, in the back yard.
