Found curled on a blade of grass, very well hidden initially. I am not sure if it is a male or female.

Identification
Thank you bot for the suggestions! It does look fairly close to the other pictures of Formicinus.

SK Thanatus
Nice one. SK is supposed to have altimontis, coloradensis, formicinus, rubicellus & striatus. We only have formicinus in the guide. I'd have to look through my guides. Maybe John Sloan will have a better idea of species. I'm not really willing to guess sex either.

This closely resembles T. formicinus, but I'm not familiar with how the other SK species look.
