Самец вида пока не описан, но самки в тех краях бегают этого вида.
genital examined, and seems to match the species known from Nepal

Looking like Eucalyptus leaf - Diaea sp
I was amused to see a crab spider, which is green with pink pigmentation , which can merge with green Nilagiri leaf with pink markings. While shooting pics of this I thought it was a Massuria sp, but looking closely I concluded this as Henriksenia sp.
But Friend Prasanna Parab , after going through literatures rolled out Henriksenia sp & pointed as Diaea sp.
This was another highlight from latest trekk.

Found in some gravel in front of the house. Seems like a reasonable match for Cicurina simplex in Chamberlin & Ivie 1940, although my confidence with this genus is very low! Released after photographing.

Found inside a small water manhole.
Female: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/145582858
Dead specimen from University course
Portrait stacked at 6x magnification, field of view before crop roughly 2.9mm, then cropped a little, probably around 2.6mm or a little lower fov in this image
cf. Xysticus havilandi
Beautifully camouflaged
Collected from leaf litter while sweeping my driveway.
~14mm adult female
Still figuring out lighting, etc. Dark features are difficult to image nicely.
Happy to contribute a complete and "proper" observation :)
Beat from chile pequin bush in my garden.
Borrowed from same plant as this male
Hand-collected from a rock wall
Long, coiled embolus seems to be distinctive and probably sufficient for IDs with clear enough macro photos. The "front" angle was intended to show this feature without a microscope.

Tentative determination based on my examination of this preserved specimen, kindly sent to me by @sherrylikesspiders - A state record for Texas.
Several observations have been made on the same residential property in East Texas going back at least 2 years, so there is clearly an established population. More hunting/collection would need to be done to see how widely it is found in this area. As large wandering spiders, presumably the population is not isolated to this property.
~15mm adult female, external shape of epigynum matches nicely with Ctenus captiosus as described and drawn by Peck (1981), particularly the recurved lateral "spurs" toward the posterior half of the epigynum. This specimen generally agrees with other somatic characters in Peck's description, and the venter of the abdomen in life compares well with the few ventral images of C. captiosus on BugGuide. Light recumbent hairs in cephalic area. The size is a bit smaller than Peck's data which lists 17.89 +/- 2.27
Again this is a tentative identification - since there are no Ctenus species previously known from this part of Texas, this could possibly be a similar species introduced from Mexico or Central/South America. Examination of an adult male specimen would also add confidence to this determination.
Note: Most of the Mexican Ctenus species have not been reviewed since their original descriptions over 100 years ago, and the drawings/descriptions may not be sufficient for a confident ID in any event, but I did not find any matches there.
I will hang onto this specimen for a short while before sending it to Allen Dean to examine and deposit in the TAMUIC. I've also removed a leg for barcoding - hopefully the material has not degraded and can produce a good sequence.
Thanks to @sherrylikesspiders for collecting and sending this specimen!
NB: Observation date/time/locality reflects info provided by collector
This is an undescribed species in or near Admestina - see here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/69777842
Same species as this observation. Also juvenile, this one is a little over 2mm. Found on one of the cars in my driveway and brought inside to try and get some better photos.
At some point I suppose I will have to get on my roof and see if I can beat some more of these out of the oak trees.
edit to add: Have since collected an adult male specimen, which I have here in ethanol if anyone is studying these or would otherwise be interested to examine it.
What is this spider?
It has 4 white/transparent legs at the backside and 4 black legs on the front side.
The reason it has only 2 black legs is because it seems it has lost the other two front legs.
And it's body is a very strange shape, looks like its cut off in the middle but it's not.
At first, I thought it's not a spider, but then it started to release a bit of his web.
Found it on my grapes.
Dissection performed by Eric (@tangg)
Australomisidia appears to be the closest fit for this species, however the placement is difficult. It lacks the spade shaped RTA diagnostic of Australomisidia, in its place is a doubly terminated RTA - not found in Tharrhalea, or any of its 'congeners '.
The VTA does encroach on the RTA as Szymkowiak, 2014 described, and seems larger than what it typically is in Tharrhalea.
The shape of the RTA is the feature that leads me to believe it is not Tharrhalea, it is not an inverted cone. This may well be a new genus.
To me, this and subtilis are the only ones that seem to match - elongated carapace, dark red cardiac mark, large chelicerae, small size.
Likely adult, 3-4 mm, found on moss at the base of reeds next to a pond.

Зеркало.
Took about 7 hours to find her, glad we stuck with it.
7.5mm
Found on vegetation.
Amazingly ant-like to the naked eye in appearance and movement. Abetted by the presence of Spiny Sugar Ants, Polyrhachis, in the same thicket.
