Found by Rachel - Theridion differens - female

Found by Rachel - Theridion differens - Female
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
June 17, 2008
Size: 2.4 mm
Male/female pair found together (by my niece Rachel), in a corner of the entryway, I believe. Epigynum is nothing more than two small "spirals" near the epigastric furrow. T. differens is a common theridiid spider that is found throughout most of the Nearctic region with possibly the exception of the far south-west; however, it is most common in the north-east. (Levi 1957)

(Specimen in alcolhol in both images, but photographed shortly after collection.)
