Scytodes sp. Scytodes sp. - This view of the same spider shows a drop of its sticky glue at the tips of its fangs. Although there was no prey present when this photo was taken, the spider may have been defensively preparing to use the glue since the spider was coaxed several times into remaining still for the photos.
