Not a clue, never seen anything like this on arbutus

Seems like a really good candidate for R. nigrella, will have to update later.

About 4mm in length

Found on my porch swing

Possibly attinella sp.

Found at knee height in vegetation

pink talus field, alpine conifer forest

with WPM, RWM

active on N-facing shaded rock outcrop

Scanned for posterity from a print. This isolated population now may have been eliminated by wall lizards.

courtship - both retinas visible!

@shawnb2 there is another! Seen running along a path, stopped when an ant came running across the trail, then ambushed and ate it. Moved to the side of the trail and sat there when done.

Found in a store that sells houseplants. We had just received new plants from a greenhouse in Burnaby.

Could not resist stopping to check these out on the way home @fmcghee

found on a deer skeleton

Crater Lake Provincial Park, Cariboo, BC

under rocks retaining moisture, burned redwood ravine

courtship

adult male

On tree trunk 6’ feet off ground on black locust.

Terralonus? 6mm.

Big one. Found near mountaintop, 2500m.

non-typical form, most red pigment replaced by black

high-elevation, open ground, low herbs, sage; early in season, few adult males

Sluggish, did not appear to be doing that well

! Went out hoping to find a male and spotted this little guy atop a dry mossy stone in the sun. 2nd male spotted in the area but first time getting shots!
