Sosippus mimus (misidentified)

The Lake Placid funnel wolf spider (Sosippus placidus) is a species of spider in the family Lycosidae. [3][4]

It is endemic to Florida scrub habitats in Highlands County, Florida, United States.[5][6] Their limited distribution appears to be similar to that of several other notable Florida scrub arthropods.

Conservation

The species is threatened by its restricted habitat requirements, further enhanced by its status as a gap specialist, requiring open-canopy sandy exposures which can become vanishingly rare as a result of fire-suppression and land mismanagement. It also seems to have limited dispersal abilities, so extirpations are unlikely to be reversed without human-assisted reintroductions.[1][2][7][8]
