Yes

H. helia.
Odd that you found in lawn. Are there trees around?

Thanks Jeff,

I routinely make several sweeps with the net before checking the contents. This includes areas under a citrus tree and some privet. The main purpose is to collect flies for spider food, but I regularly turn up small spiders. The two Florinda Coccinata that we posted recently were collected in the net at the same time as the H. helia.
Help from you and others on BugGuide really adds an exciting dimension to our spider photography.

is nice to see your high quality spider images on a regular basis as well.
Hamataliwa are generally found on tree branches.
