I was very excited on the first night of searching because I captured a couple of green Tetragnathid spiders that were hanging out under leaves. The spider I am searching for - D. raptor - is green and hangs out under leaves at night as it hunts for prey. When I gave the spider a closer look the next morning I notcied this chestnut mark on its back - my heart sank as I realized it is not D. raptor but instead Tetragnathid waikamoi or T. macacantha. Beautiful spider but still not the one.
