This Zodariidae Spider was about the size of a medium to large ant, perhaps 8 to 10 mm in size. Its common family name is Ant Spider and it could be one of two or three species in this family group. Habronestes grahami is the most likely suspect in the Habronestes group but it may well be one of the Pentasteron species from the same family as they are similar.
