Second
Eric! How did I miss these?
The unique pedipalps made for an easy ID.
Any time you can get close ups of male palpal organs and/or ocular areas on dwarf spiders, it is a great help.

Thanks Eric and Jeff
I'll try to get those close-up shots of the male pedipalps in the future.

Spectacular.
This is a simply spectacular image, especially given the size of the organisms!
