Is this a male Zoropsis spinimana? (California Bay Area)
Is this a male Z spinimana?
Been getting better at IDing these guys as they become more common to my region (they’re also the largest spider species I’ve ever seen around/in my house, they’re hard to NOT notice) but I just want to get some confirmation/clarification if I’m getting the species wrong.
This dude was found in a clutter pile in bathroom, placed in old cup temporarily for photo shoot then let outside. He reared up and froze in a threat display in the cup I put him in- never seen a non-tarantula spider do that before! Whatever the species, looks like dude is ready for mating and probably wandering around looking for ladies.
