This Phidippus species was collected from an area with previous boei sightings, I'm hoping that it is indeed Phidippus boei, (Hopefully the experts can chime in). I captured this penultimate male and it does not look like any johnsoni that I have seen in Southern California

This observation is for the retreats. I found two dead seed heads, each of which contained a collection of several retreats of the same size and shape, all grouped together. However, each group of retreats from a seed head contained only one female spider. The spider inhabiting this retreat can be seen here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/175610910
