 Spruce-fir Moss Spider in North Carolina
It is one of the smallest members of the primitive suborder of spiders that are often popularly referred to as "tarantulas" (Harp 1991, 1992).
The most reliable field identification characteristics for the spruce-fir moss spider are chelicerae that project forward well beyond the anterior edge of the carapace, a pair of very long posterior spinnerets, and the presence of a second pair of book lungs, which appear as light patches posterior to the genital furrow (Harp 1992).
The Grandfather Mountain population is restricted to small patches of suitable microhabitat occurring on a single rock outcrop and a nearby boulder (Harp 1992; personal observation, 1995).
