Theridion sp. ? - Theridion
Lanphere Dunes, Humboldt County, California, USA

Moved
Moved from ID Request. This is one of the cobweb spiders. I'd guess it's one of the many species of Theridion.

Araneidae
Looks like Araneidae or "Orb-weaver spider". We have those around the yard (Atlanta area) often.
