Field Notes

Description:

A "dainty" looking spider that is black with bright white stripes on each side of the thorax. The legspan was about 8 cm.

Habitat:

Found on the outside wall of a cement block bldg (700 masl) @20:30 in the Amazon rainforest of SE Ecuador.

Notes:

Not the usual legs of the Huntsman spiders we normally see around. The leg span is about the same, but the legs are really spindly compared to a Huntsman's.
