Field Notes

Description:

Maybe 1 cm long, it has gray legs and a brown body and head. Looks to be hairy but he was so tiny I can't really tell.

Habitat:

Found it on my hand, I assume it jumped on there when I was in an upland area with sandy soil and oak trees.

How about Hentzia mitrata? Or is it too difficult to go down to species level?
