Tiny spider with distinctive markings (Dictynidae?)
Blount County, Alabama, USA
April 5, 2024
Size: ~2mm
For built-in scale to help visualize, the spider is sitting on a chain-link fence wire (approximately 2.5mm diameter). Also posting this to inaturalist - will update if I find out anything there.
Update: per user htct on iNaturalist, this is a member of the meshweaver family Dictynidae.
