Theridion pictipes--Comb Footed Spider - Theridion - Male
Mills River, Henderson County, North Carolina, USA
June 17, 2014
This spider was running on the sidewalk. What caught my attention was a tiny yellow spot moving. This spider was tiny. Very definitely adult male--judging by the swollen palps. I just don't know what he is!
