From Rod Crawford:

I'd agree this is a dictynid. Not necessarily Dictyna, but could be.

Thanks!

I think that it is great for me to get something this small IDed this far. Without a better camera or more likely a microscope I think we're done. I'll release the spider back where I found it. Did you have any favorite images you wanted to save, or do you want me to pick a couple? I'd be just as happy if someone else picks, but either way is fine. Also, if you don't want to save this image but do want to save the comments, I can move one of the other images to this thread.
I would think: 3 and 8 seem good, 1 natural habitat (maybe), and I wish 7 was better but it isn't.

Moved

I did some image swapping, so the comments would be on the nicer image, and I moved to family level.

We were certainly thinking

Dictyna when we first saw it, if that helps. Unfortunately we have no characteristics that we can point to to defend that!

Dictyna

seems right to me too. I don't know what those other little things are. Compare yours with this one
