ANT MIMICKING SPIDERS

Hi Glen, Came across your site tonight and thought if anyone may know what this spider is, it may be you. We found him in our house tonight (Dallas, TX). Never seen one around. Any ideas? Looked similar to a Castianeira occidens but I don't think that's it. Thanks! -Mark

just found this in mingling in some bills on the table. can you identify? it was very quick moving and when approached, it would move it's abdomen around in a circular motion.. kind of like what a wasp or hornet would do when provoked. very odd. thanks!

Hi Glen, How have you been lately? Here are two neat little arachnids I found recently. I think one is an Ant Mimicking Spider with some legs missing. The other, I guess, is a Crab Spider of some kind. I've seen this little brown/orange kind a lot lately. I have posted a lengthy video containing good footage of the Crab Spider here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APPbZMTrFRs. Feel free to use the pictures if you want. -Damy

Reply: As per the posts lower on this page, that is a Castianeira descripta ant-mimic
spider.

Hi Glen, I love your spider website! I am a lifelong spider enthusiast and am usually good at tracking down what family a spider is in, however I was utterly flummoxed today when I saw this spider in the shower. It's body was about 1/4 inch. I live in central Arizona near Phoenix. Any ideas? Thanks so much, Terry

Hi Glen, This little gizmo sped across my bedroom floor yesterday, so I captured it and tried to take some pictures. This was the most highly mobile spider I've ever encountered. It almost never stopped moving, and could climb my clear plastic container that no other spider has so far. It ran me ragged, trying to get a good picture of it. I took a handful and gave up, letting it go outside. You can use the pictures if you want. --Damy

Hi, I found this spider in my sons bedroom. I have no clue what kind it is, and cannot find it online. It's very small and very aggressive. Is it dangerous?.
