Genus PeckhamiaObserver
daricrogersDescription
This specimen is missing its left Leg I. Note the white markings on the ventral surface of abdomen. These were missing or inconspicuous in the specimen from a few weeks ago. Sexual dimorphism perhaps? Separate species? Maybe just variation among individuals. I also found the translucent tips of the present Leg I and the pedipalps fascinating. Are these disappearing from sight in its evolution for mimicry?

Habronattus coecatusObserver

The scarlet-colored clypeus below the anterior eyes and above the chelicerae was observed, but my subject was non cooperative and made a brilliant escape before I could photograph. It was a striking color.
