HAMATALIWA
With a strange name for their genus, these small lynx spiders are usually found low in trees and shrubs.
During the day they sit on twigs and tuck their legs under their bodies, appearing to be nothing
more than a bump on a twig. About sixty species are known worldwide, three in the USA.
The two species below were found in the same forest of oak trees in Florida.
Hamataliwa grisea
Hamataliwa helia
