Spider - Frontinella pyramitela
Copyright © 2015 David Israel

Spider - Frontinella pyramitela
Woodside Township, Otter Tail County, Minnesota, USA
April 12, 2011
Size: Very small
Found this tiny spider while photographing plant parts in early spring a few years ago. I don't have any measurements, but it is on a prickly ash twig, which should give some sense of scale.

Looks like...
Frontinella communis which would represent a new county record according to my distribution. I'd love to see more spider pics from your part of Minnesota. Otter Tail County only has 17 spider species on record.

Thanks
Thanks for the ID. And yes, I should be able to post other spiders. I have a number of them that need IDs anyhow.
