Moved from Dwarf Spiders.
Kevin, I caught this in a sweep net that might have been from a black spruce, but I don't remember. Dixville Notch is at an elevation of about 1,800 feet.

Any collection details?

Kaston writes that it "has been taken at elevations of 2,000 feet and over in the Berkshires of Massachusetts as well as farther north ... [and] builds a flat web between the branches of spruce and fir trees".

Estrandia grandaeva
Not only a small spider, but for some reason a bit of a challenge.

This is Estrandia grandaeva (Keyserling, 1886), a Holarctic species, that has also been found in Québec, Sweden, and Russia.
