My museum @NaturalSciences has a REALY great new special/traveling exhibit about spiders that opened this past weekend.
It's curated by spider expert Dr. Linda Rayor. 100% worth your time and the admission (or membership).

He's neonella vinnula, and an adult male (see the tiniest chonky palps). This is as big as he'll get. 🥹
He's going back to his leaf litter hunting tomorrow. The laddiest lad. 🤎
