tobiashaysDescription
From hollow aspen stump surrounded by thatching. Nest is likely from Formica obscuripes, many small linyphiids were found in thatching, including this individual which appears to have a modified cephalothorax that is strange even for erigonines. Better pictures will be added with time.
