Cheiracanthium
(Long-legged Sac Spiders)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Here's a ventral image of a Long-legged Sac Spider. It appears to have lost a fight with a Cellar Spider. It fell from a CellarSpider's web on a ceiling light fixture. It hit the floor so hard that I heard it hit. It writhed in pain, was partially wrapped in silk. It clutched a leg with it's fangs. I think it was bitten on the leg. It took it's own leg off and walked away carrying the leg.
