Hi Jeff,

My comment is based on the 2nd and 3rd images -- the palp looks very transparent and "unformed". Even in a pale species some sclerotization (hardening and darkening) should be visible, I think.

Moved for expert attention

Moved from ID Request. It does resemble Maevia, but we'll have to get an expert to chime in on species. Nice find.

Thanks, he's a tiny fella and sooo fast. He almost got away several times before I got pics. I put him back out to use those fully loaded palps.
