Little Spider in Compost Bin
Copyright © 2006 Peter Hollinger

Little Spider in Compost Bin
Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
April 25, 2006
Size: ~5mm
This delicate little spider is the current chief resident on the compost bin lid. There was also a similar but much smaller individual. No sign of the Enoplognatha marmorata from a couple weeks ago (unless this is a younger version, but the legs seem very different).
