Maybe Artace sp., such as Artace cribrarius? The abdomen doesn't seem long enough, but I also noticed that the length seems to vary for some reason. Posted 6 years ago

  Nice! I'm seeing lots of examples of Artace cribrarius visually matching this photo. Body shape, dots, black legs, all seem to match. It's also reported in Colombia so looks convincing. Thanks! Posted 6 years ago

    Definitely! It looks nearly exact. The abdomen threw me off a bit, but like I mentioned above, the length seems to vary - although, I couldn't find out why. Looks like a good match though. Posted 6 years ago
