very small spider, argyrodes? - Female
Brossard, Quebec, Canada
September 4, 2009
A very small spider (2-3mm) found in a web at night. There was another spider in the web, (proably a Theridion), and together with the triangular abdomen this makes me wonder if it is an Argyrodes, is this likely?

Argyrodes vs. Chrysso
I'm not sure this isn't a species of Chrysso. I would have to do more research on the 3 species in our region and get back to this.

I'm not an expert but I would agree with your identification of this spider as an Argyrodes. They are really tiny spiders.
