Cool ... 'nother specie! (?  )
I gotta guess Agelenidae ... What sort of webbing was it found in? Have you seen it before? I wanna start a serious Agelenidae thread ...in the vein of the SICARIIDAE thread. |

they're under rocks so you can't really see the web without destroying it... kind of funnel-y, I guess. I can get a bunch of them, there's a long row of rocks where almost every one has one under it. I think yours is A. aperta? |

From the pics (online) I find associated with A.aperta, I rather say yours is aperta. ?? example... http://www.wildutah.us/h_spdr_10906drpr.html http://www.spiderpharm.com/venoms/spp/spi/agelenidae/a_aperta.htm but then again... http://www.sdnhm.org/fieldguide/inverts/agel-ape.html BTW... how large are your girls? |

the several specimens of the one in the first link are all much smaller than the sp. in the pic I just linked, the one in the first link looks exactly the same as mine in the pics above, What said the pic above is A. aperta, I think that is the same as yours, and the adults of it are the size SDNHM says they should be, so maybe the one in your first link and the one I posted above are juvies of A. aperta BUT my adult (pic right above) is still alive and much larger and lighter than the other ones. so maybe they're Calilena, Hololena, or Rualena? http://www.sdnhm.org/research/entomology/sdspider.html |

I remember saying it was an Agelenidae and probably aperta, but no solid ID.... W/e. I think most of the SoCal Agelenids are the same species just with different colorforms... |
