Linyphiidae?
St. John's, 47.593737N 52.686106W (WGS84), Northeast Avalon, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada

Size: 1mm Estimated
I originally spotted this on a dandelion but before I could get my camera ready, he had lowered himself/herself (I think its female?) with a strand of its webbing and landed on this dried weed stem. This is where it's seen in these photos. You can still see some pieces of pollen from the dandelion on its legs. Does this belong to Linyphiidae?
