I have posted in this forum before with a different spider identified in this forum as a Brown Recluse. I have caught MANY recluse in my house since then and have made several pendants with them using epoxy.
I now have another spider I need help with identifying. It was living in a window sill that has several cracks plenty big enough to retreat to. Its webs are very fine and went unnoticed until we raised alot of dust from re-modeling and the web was coated in white dust. The web has no uniform design, its just cobbled up and messy.
At first when I caught it, I just dropped it in with one of the Brown Recluse I have in a jar which is there until I have time to make another pendant. After looking online at some pictures of a male ***c* ***** spider, OR possibly a juvenile female of the same species, I decided to save it from the recluse and get some pictures to post here. I prefer not to spell out what I think it may be so that your opinions are not influenced by mine. Although, if you study the spacing and letter provided you could figure it out, but please ID it first.
The size is at most aprox 1/8 inch body, and about 3/8 inch leg span.
