Lyssomanes Jumping Spider (female)

Lyssomanes sp.

Description:

David Hill: Some of the many named Lyssomanes are very similar in general appearance, particularly the females. Usually the males are easier to distinguish. They may often be found near the males, as males find females and they defend the local area from other males. So, if this female was found near your pictured male, it is most likely of the same species.

Habitat:

Ecological Reserve of Charco Verde

Notes:

The Ecological Reserve of Charco Verde covers 20 hectares of tropical dry forest which is home to many animals. Within the reserve is the mystical pond of Charco Verde with its emerald green waters. The lagoon owes its peculiar color to abundant algae. In earlier times the Indians used to make sacrifices and supplications to their gods here. The reserve lies along a volcanic beach. https://www.facebook.com/groups/salticid... A great interactive site for Jumping Spiders, if you are into them...
