Cybaeus sp. - Cybaeus signifer - Female
Cowichan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
July 31, 2012
Size: ~10-11mm body length
I found this spider hanging out behind a board with an adult male a couple of centimeters away on the 27th. She was immature at the time, so I figured maybe the male was waiting it out. It looked like she was pretty close to a molt so I took them both in, hoping to release them together again in a couple of days. She molted last night.

She looks very similar to this spider I found before (who sadly did not survive to adulthood):

which was actually found only a couple of meters away, albeit quite a while ago.

Some of these Cybaeus spiders have such attractive markings!

Here is the male I'm hoping is of the same species:
