Location- Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Habitat – Along a sidewalk.

Colouration- Light brown Head and gastor, darker brown thorax, brown to light brown legs.

Size - Approximately 6mm.

 

Some detail- the gastor comes to a point at the end almost like it has a stinger, with fine hairs

Behaviour – relaxed but most quickly.
