Unknown Spider - Leucauge argyra
Matheson Hammock Park, Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA
January 31, 2008
I saw this small spider near the concession stand at Matheson Hammock Park near Miami. I would like to identify it for a wildlife project I am working on.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is tough with only one image and
that from the underside, but we're gonna jump in and suggest Plesiometa argyra, as in with the big warning that we could be very wrong.

What kind of web?
This appears to be a male spider, but it would help to know what kind of web it was in to help narrow down the possibilities. I'm thinking either a sheetweb weaver or an orb weaver right now, but those are two different FAMILIES:-)

Families
Just to make it more confusing I'm going to toss another family into the mix - Tetragnathidae (or is that out of the question?)
