Help identify this spider
This looks to be the underside of a solifuge, AKA camel spider! Cute and very unique-looking things.
Eramobates genus solifugid.
Thanks for adding the genus. It isn’t in the identification label because there is an “Other” section in the ID options that includes Insects and the Arachnid families. They don’t have further refinement options. I just wanted to explain that it’s not that I disagree with your ID, I just can’t add it.
In this sub family are 5 species. native to North America there is also another sub family here. Getting any of these to species almost takes microscopic views of dozens of features. I had these about at my home in Las Vegas, the closest I could get was Eremobates genus. Probably the most likely in the western 2/3 of the US.
(pardon the spelling in my post.)
