Another Linyphiid - Centromerita bicolor - male

Another Linyphiid - Centromerita bicolor - Male
Cowichan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
September 23, 2012
Size: ~3.5mm body length
Found under a piece of wood lying in leaf litter. I was a little worried about trying to photograph his palps since he's so small and delicate, but it worked out fine for him at least. The shots are soft and I don't think I got the angles right.

I'll hang onto him for a bit. I'm planning to release him together with an immature female I found him with (hopefully the same species). Waiting for her to molt, she looks pretty close to being ready.
