While outside, I noticed this web in a stack of old outdoor chairs. It is approximately an inch and a half from top to bottom. I've never seen another like around my yard. Unfortunately there was no spider.

Inside a small plastic shed. Two individuals pictured. This spot used to be frequented by several Steatoda triangulosa, and I was ecstatic the first time I found one of these linyphiids. Now I don't see any Steatoda---only signs one in an empty web---but this linyphiid species seems to be proliferating here and throughout my yard.

On a rose bush just outside my back door. Strangely, I have only ever seen early instar juvenile orbweavers in my yard. I don't know why they leave, when they go, or where they go to. I also don't know how many genera or species come here, because I can never identify them, though there has definitely been some variety. I certainly wish some would stick around! For size comparison, in addition to the photo with my hand (which is quite small for an adult), the first image has baby aphids on the right.

I picked up a small bunch of leaf litter below yard tools on the back of my house, and this is what was in it. Immediately, these hatchlings started pouring out of the sac. I shot a few quick photos and carefully put the leaf litter back where I found it.

Either a juvenile Attinella dorsata or Attulus ammophilus, both of which are known to be in this spot. For size comparison, see the last photo, where it is running down the door trim next to the brick wall. The gray part is brick mortar.

I was trying to focus on a small linyphiid hanging nearby, which I had returned to this stump to photograph. I hadn't even noticed the presence of this spider that the camera had focused on instead until I reviewed my photos.

I was wondering if this could be Piabuna, but now I'm thinking it might be a baby Zodarion. Found in leaf litter. My limited equipment really made it hard to get decent photos of this little thing! They may not look like much, but I included many that can be zoomed into for different types of details. And in some photos, I bumped up the contrast to try to bring out more details. In the end, as I was holding the spider on a tiny bit of a weed, it simply vanished. The frustration of a mini spider and no scope! I hope someone can help narrow this one down.

All the black stuff visible in this nest, which at first looked to me like frass, was moving around. When I returned 2 days later, there was no sign of black. I'm pretty sure this was a nest of Phidippus audax hatchlings.
