Spider in Kitchen - Female
Spingfield, Calhoun County, Michigan, USA
November 12, 2007
Size: BL 3mm
I found this spider in my kitchen. She is still there, where the ceiling and the wall meet. I didn't even see the gnat until I uploaded the pictures. She must have got it while I was shooting. I can't even see a web, she looks like she's just hanging in the air. I lightened the photos some to see more detail. Any chance of finding out what kind of spider she is? I figure she's some type of co#bweb spider.

Looks
like a Linyphiid sheetweb spider, not sure past that.

Goodness, I didn't even have sheetweb
at all. Appreciate your help, Jeff. I'm not very good at this, but I'm learning a lot here on BG.

Sharon and Bill, the quality of your image contributions more than makes up for any lack of knowledge! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Eric
You're too kind by far. We do try to get good shots and hope to improve, too.
