Found this bean on a fallen Douglas fir covered in brambles yesterday while clearing said bushes, he’s a yellowish color with a few reddish brown spots around his head and abdomen. He’s very small, about 1/3-1/4 the size of a Zebra Jumper, no clue if he’s fully grown or not but he looks a little transparent around. There’s absolutely nothing on this spider that I can find on the internet so far, an ID or some clues on what he might be would be helpful, thanks!

Note: The photos I’ve gotten so far are pretty trash he’s so small, but I have an old microscope I might be able to put him under and I’ll update this if I do IMG_5635.jpeg IMG_5635.jpeg IMG_5638.jpeg IMG_5639.jpeg

Could be a juvenile Phanias species, but we would need better quality photos to confirm.

I see it! Very similar to a female P. harfordi, how much pattern variation can they have on their abdomen? I see a few differences, spacing between 'eyespots', more symmetrical and prominent strokes of color rather than scattered dots. (Not our spider under the scope) IMG_5705.jpeg IMG_5706.jpeg
