Tiny Spider - Oecobius

Tiny Spider - Oecobius
Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, USA
January 14, 2009
Size: 1-2 mm?
I found this very tiny spiderling on a window sill in my house in Tucson. Moved extremely quickly. I don't know if it was full-grown or a type of dwarf spider. Movements weren't herky-jerky like a jumping spider.

Thanks
I'm sure you're right. This is a new one for me. I see that someone else photographed one in Tucson.
