Request help to identify insects or other creatures. Please post the location that the insect you want to identify came from, this will help greatly in species determination.

Spiderlike thing, but I only see six legs...

Post by gry »

This thing was very small, only about a centimeter across. I thought it was a spider, but I only see six legs. Spotted today in Green Bay, WI.

Definitely a spider, but missing two legs. It looks somewhat like it might be in the genus Philodromus, but that's really just a guess -
