Insect or Invertebrates Identification - DONE

[ExFmem]

I know the feeling.

I posted a number of them on iNaturalist today, so maybe they can at least provide some direction.

We'll see.

I suspect that this one is a member of the Thyenula/Rumburak group or related genus in the subfamily There are some with light abdomen.

Both the latter 2 have blue on their heads

I think this is also a Menemerus sp

The blue is just a reflection.

Inaturalist is a source you can not trust either, they are sometimes spot on and sometimes do misidentify. More or less as wise as we are here. I use it often to get the first idea for what to research then.

I certainly think you are headed in the right direction.

I read through this paper (https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... uophryinae) and picked out a few that were at least similar, such as Euophrys cochlea (female)

Will have to research some more on that and the others that caught my eye, but maybe there’s hope. I think the MAIN drawback, and it’s huge, is that I simply don’t have enough angles of some of them to really make a definitive decision. Those little scoundrels jump away at the slightest provocation!
