Found in a web of Anelosimus. It may have been eating them; I’m not sure. I tried to get pictures of the Anelosimus but they were too small and wouldn’t hold still.
That’s my grandpa’s hand, by the way. He tried to shake the spider into his palm after I caught it in the jar, but the spider wouldn’t let go of the jar.
It’s sweet that you have made this a family thing! My relatives send me photos of the spiders they see because they know I like that.
I don’t think it is Cheiracanthum spp. They have a different stance and shorter body lengths. There are Prowling Spiders, like Clubonia that are similar.
