Field Notes
Description:
This spider is from South America and I found it in my backyard! This is the second time I've spotted this species on my property. The first one is a male. the female can be seen at my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17113115 Third time was a charm and it was confirmed to be Falconina gracilis. I found a fourth spider and it was sent to the same entomologist for study.
Habitat:
Under porch light at night in the backyard. Originally from South America. The scientific note was published in the The Pan-Pacific Entomologist in the Oct 2013 edition and the range was expanded to California.
