I've got several Aculeate specimens with either female Stylops or empty male Styops pupa present, but I have only ever seen one male "in the wild". This was blown onto my car windscreen on a windy day just as I was starting up. Unfortunately, before I could do anything more than stare at it and say "wow - a Stylops" the wind smashed it to bits.

I will be checking out spiders webs near Aculete colonies this year though.......
