A small spider pauses for a second on a napkin. His body is mostly black, with a few grey accents on his cephalothorax and abdomen. His legs are mostly brown.

The same spider, this time posing on the edge of a table. He is facing forward, and his thick spinnerets almost look like a little cartoon bow at this angle.

a sergiolus montanus, or as i call them, a monty! this little guy was fast, so it was hard to get a good pic 😊 #spider #sergiolusmontanus #gnaphosidae #groundspider
