Adult male - found on rocky limestone trail in Comal County near Canyon Lake. I believe this is one of the elusive Texas Terralonus that Tim Manolis has been looking for.

Added a quick & dirty shot of the palp. Last photo is just to give a rough idea of habitat.

Also posted to BugGuide (here)

(Live specimen received by Tim Manolis. Will update with his findings when he is able to examine it.)

This is the 1st post of several Salticidae, likely all Attinella concolor (or not!). After last week's somewhat accidental find of the 1st Attinella concolor (here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/83080798 ), followed by a sighting of a very small individual yesterday (Friday), I went out to the same flower bed Saturday morning & spent several hours searching for more. I was rewarded with this and four others. There is a possibility that this individual is the same one from the other day (roughly same size, shape & demeanor). I will update this post with links to the others.

Comparing photos of all 5, this one appears to be an adult female (thoughts?).

These were all found in one of the pollinator flower beds which surround our house - in a roughly 8' x 10' somewhat sparsely-planted area.

I am working on improving my Salticidae IDs - comments/suggestions are very welcome.

This is the 2nd individual of the 5 found on Saturday. See here for more details: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/83779118

This appears to be an adult male (?). The four spots (& different pattern) on the abdomen coupled with a more silver/grayish color (vs brown) is a significant change from the first individual.

Please download and use these open source images for your own purposes. If you do, please reference Macroscopic Solutions. Photography information: All of the images in this database were captured with the Macropod. The Macropod is a rigid, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs of small sized specimens at 18 to 26-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally, lenses designed for macro will only render a very small fraction of the depth of targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposure’s area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images are then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. Zerene Stacker is used to find and stitch together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.

Description

If you look at it's rear legs, they blend in tho the abdomen so it looks like it has six legs to appear ant-like. It's front mandibles also resemble that of an ant. It also has an added segment to resemble a thorax. I photoshopped these very little so that our observers can take in the full of extent of detail as opposed to something that is more aesthetic. For Science! Spectacular!

What first appeared to be a tiny beetle trying to hide from a larger Colonus sp. jumping spider, turned out to be this tiny, super cool jumper! Found along a branch hanging near fence post.

Our first night down in the LRGV, we decided to explore the property of the AirBNB we stayed at, being tired from the 8 hour drive. I'm so glad we did as I found so my lifers on this property and single night alone! I am very appreciative of the Darling family keeping this piece of land 'wild' and native.

Beautiful spider - glad to finally find one in the wild and happen to have my camera with me. Somehow I managed to take 20 pictures of this spider and not get a good in-focus dorsal shot :(

It's not obvious in these photos but there is a patch of light/white scales near the base of the chelicerae which matches notes I found on bugguide for H. coecatus.

~4mm. Playing on a picnic table in a neighborhood park.
