Beat from Arctostaphylos, collected alive, reared in captivity through two molts and euthanized. Coloration, palp and presence on manzanita all match this species beautifully. Also posted to BG. First photo is juvenile on beat sheet in the field, second two live photos are of chilled adult after two molts.
It’s missing 3 of the front dark legs.
