Mesh Web Weaver - Emblyna sublata - Male
Sulphur, Murray County, Oklahoma, USA
Specimens collected by Amy Goodman. She photographed some of these live and we wanted to verify the species ID for BugGuide. She sent me two males and four females from the same area/group and all turned out to be the same species, Emblyna sublata. These are all images take under the microscope, so the colors are a little wonky, but they are pretty brightly colored in real life too.
Amy's images of the live spiders:
