I chose this picture because the body shape, leg proportions, brown color, and the dominant pedipalps. I have never seen spiders with such large pedipalps before in my area (near Boston, MA). Since the Hobo is found in the Northwest, what other spiders should I be looking at? This spider had a body about .75 inches and leg span of about 1.5 inches. He jumped up and down aggressively when I moved him in the container. |
