Six-spotted orb weaver (Araniella displicata)

This is a minute spider (about 6mm in length) that usually hangs upside down in a nearly invisible web on the surface of a leaf. This one consented to turn right up side up, but when I left, immediately flipped upside down in her web again. This is a new species for the FWG Arachnid list.
