About this photo:
We discovered this spider on our deck, when Jim blundered into its drag line. He quickly reeled in the line until the spider was on his arm. Then we took this photo. See Plate 25 in Jackman, and notice the very hairy palps on the spider. According to the guide, undatus is the only species of this genus to occur in Texas. |
