Splendid dwarf spider (Hypselistes florens)

This very small spider (2-3mm) was found in a meadow area in the west end of Ottawa. These delicate little creatures spin tiny webs on the ground to trap very small invertebrates.

Yes but is it venomous?

So small and yet so beautiful. Well done.

I am pretty sure I have seen this little guy in my garden. I figured because of its coloring, it is somewhat dangerous. Anyway this macro is terrific !!
