Octonarius sinensis

Octonarius sinensis is found near this range and doesn't have the brush hairs. I'm pretty sure that's what this is.

Moved

Moved from Spiders. Check out the spider below (but that species is supposed to be pantropical).

Uloborus

From what I can see of the eyes, it does seem to match Uloborus. However, I've never seen one without the visible leg hairs. Can you get more shots of this one? Close-up of the eyes would be great... other angles, and even give us a description of the web and a measurement of the spider's body. Thanks!

I agree.

"Body language" is typical of Uloborus, too. I suppose one can't rule out an immature tetragnathid, but I lean toward Uloboridae, too.
