the rest of them, plus another male morph I saw! confusingly but beautifully polymorphic species

(which, according to various phylotrees, might not actually be a ctenid? RTA clade is none of my business so no comment on that)

I found a better photo of the brown Ancylometes bogotensis male on a leaf! I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard a spider get called ‘majestic’ before but he certainly was. king of that leaf
