I spent a week in ABQ last November. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see that critter. How big is it?

Glad you are still finding subjects after your tree lopping. Nice photo.

Right after I shot this photo, I escorted him outside so that my wife didn't suck him into the vacuum. :wink:

What a FINE and unusual spider. I can't find a positive ID even to Family, but I have a possible. Family Trechaleidae occurs only in AZ and NM!!! Similar to wolf and nursery web spiders in general. Haven't found a diagram of eyes, but a description says the anterior eyes (AE) are in a recurved row (inverted 'U'), the laterals (ALE) under the posterior medians (PME which are larger) and not to the outside. (The posterior laterals (PLE) are the little spots outside the big, shiny PME.) The somewhat spiny legs and long tarsi (end sections) fit. No comments on the furry abdomen, but some wolfs have similar pelage. A truely handsome old man!!! And a rare find!!! if my guess is correct.
