Micaria sp - Micaria gertschi - Male
Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minnesota, USA
June 2, 2014
Found crawling in the rockwork around my building. I believe this is a male M. gertschi but am seeking confirmation. Note the single white band on the abdomen and the broad white triangle on the carapace (which I can't find mentioned anywhere in the literature for M. gertschi or similar taxa).
