I was really surprised to find this male on the outside wall at my
house in Taylorsville, UT. It was probably
in search of a mate. Cottony webs of this spider are found under
things like bark or they might be
found in crevasses. Just when I think I've found just about every
species of spider I possibly can
on my property, I find something else. Lots of fun! ©
