Two for one - Eustala anastera - Female
Harms Woods Forest Preserve, Glenview, Cook County, Illinois, USA
July 18, 2006
Size: ~9mm
We found this spider resting on a leaf in an oak hickory woodland. We didn't notice until we got the image up on the computer that she was missing a couple of her front legs. And then we noticed the little guy in front of her down the stem -- who is that?!

This looks like your pointy anastera and that little one looks like a nursery web spider - spiderling.

A male?
Maybe it was a male. They are quite a bit smaller than the females.
