Tiny marbled spider -
Theridion
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
April 17, 2008
Size: Maybe around 2 mm?
These are all likely unidentifiable frass, but still it is cute - so I post for now. I suspect spiderling more than dwarf, but all opinions welcome.

Theridion sp.
Most likely this is an adult Theridion sp., but please wait for confirmation from one of the arachnologists. Not a species (or at least color form) we've presently got at Bugguide I don't think....

Theridion
I agree, will try to run this down...
my dad and I had worked out a key to field marks for these little guys, three or four species in old-field junipers...
unless someone has a photo somewhere...

This is one from last year, not sure if this is what it will grow into?

Is there something else I should photograph. I have 2 of them living about 4 feet from each other outside my front door.
