Added image with scale. Cepha
Added image with scale. Cephalothorax looks to be just over 7mm long and 5mm wide. Overall length is probably deceptive because the abdomen is so small.

This spider moved very quickl
This spider moved very quickly, descending on a thread, climbing up a thread, etc. It built its web right by the UV light I was using to attract moths. Great idea, but it hampered my ability to photograph the moths because it moved so quickly. After a few days it was gone. I don't know what happened to it. I'm guessing some Pompilidae wasp found it.
