From Rod Crawford:
I'd need an epigynum for this one. But at least I can see the
metatarsi and confirm it's not a Lepthyphantes.

Epigynum
I guess I could coax the little spider onto a thin sheet of glass and get a shot... Hmmmm. This one is long gone, somewhere out in the woods though.

@Scott
To you shoot hand-held or with a tripod (or unipod)?

I Have...
a tripod, but rarely use it for bugs. Just about all of my work here is hand held.

Family Linyphiidae - Sheetweb and Dwarf Spiders
I don't recognize it right off, but I'd be surprised if it ended up anywhere other than Linyphiidae. Your images are great, I hope we can ID it further. It reminds me of the spiders in Subfamily Micronetinae, but I'm not sure about that.

I will move these...
along to Family Linyphiidae then. Thanks!
