Agelina sp.
I think this is a Agelenopsis aperta
Based on location and the web design. I think this is a Agelenopsis aperta
Out of range. This is a funnel weaver. Actually, it looks more like Eratigena sp. I will try to get more shots tomorrow. Thanks!
Agelenopsis aperta is found in California. https://bugguide.net/node/view/2001 all the way down till you see range.
But that is a ground spider. This is quite a bit different and is more a labyrinth web builder. Up on fence. Not long legged.
Ok I do see your point. What genus you think it is?
I dunno. We are not supposed to have hobo spiders but it sure looks like one!
This one has me stunned tbh with you.
I just looked at all of that too. Maybe something in genus Schizocosa ?https://spiderid.com/spider/lycosidae/schizocosa/mccooki/ I got an error message on Bugguide, love it – they use the error message to ask for donations to improve the coding and infrastructure for their site. 🙂
Lol I just created an account on BugGuide
This spider stuns me and not many spiders stun me.
I think it may be genus Agelenopsis after all, but not sure aperta.
I’m looking at the labyrinth weavers. Length is about 1/4” , body length.
Okay- what do you all think of Hololena tentativa (Agelenidae)? I think she fits a bit better in this genus.
With 30 species, this will be impossible to know for sure, but I am going to settle with Hololena curta. Think that’s as close as I can get. IT is called the corner funnel weaver, and I found her in a corner with funnel. I guess it is medically significant too. Interesting. What do you think? Bugguide has a good image. Size is right.
Western Ageleninae, cf. Hololena, there are a few other similar genera I can’t rule out in CA. https://bugguide.net/node/view/90446
Thanks!
Thx for your help!
I need you 2 take a look at my photos plz and see if I got the right ID

I’ve had some kind of illness for a couple of months, I need some testing, I’m doing what I can. Don’t be afraid to just tell people the facts, that you are a new volunteer doing your best and the more experienced volunteers are busy in their lives and you can’t guarantee answers, basically. Our answers technically are guesses in the best of times because it takes dissection under a microscope to scientifically give an answer. We do have photos on… Read more »
Ok that´s fine I hope you feel better 🙂
