Cheiracanthium - "Yellow Sac Spider"
I have only found this little yellow sac spider with its interesting spotted pattern outside in leaves or in crevices.
I have never found one like this in the house, although the regular-looking yellow sac spiders from Page I are all over
my house. So, I don't know if this is a different species or not. Regardless, these are, arguably, very beautiful spiders.
All three of these spiders, to my knowledge, still reside in Taylorsville, UT. I was reading that some
people think they are more green according to how much time they spend out in the greenery. It's
a theory. This last spider was "hiding" from the camera and not doing a very good job of it.
