Very small orb weaver - Leucauge venusta

Very small orb weaver - Leucauge venusta
Lake Roland Park, Baltimore County, Maryland, USA
March 8, 2017
Size: 2 mm
This was taken during an unseasonably warm spell. I based the description of orb weaver on the shape of the web, although it was very small. Found along a trail through a damp wooded area.

Thanks
Thanks, Steve. Didn't take the close up filters, wasn't expecting spiders in early March.
