Calymmaria persica

Found under a piece of plywood at the disturbed edge of a dense mixed forest.

Don't know if it was related, but this structure was nearby:

        Looks like it wasn't Coras. Probably Calymmaria sp. Not sure which yet. Posted 4 years ago

        I think maybe Calymmaria persica? Calymmaria virginica is the only other option in my area, and it has unbanded legs from what I'm reading.

        Nice! That looks like it could be a match. I'm seeing several similar ones though, so I'm not sure. Hopefully someone will confirm it for you! Posted 4 years ago

  Looking like the spider is Coras sp. (maybe C. medicinalis), a funnelweaver. Looks like they create burrows under logs and things, so maybe this is its burrow? Posted 4 years ago
