A Minute Ball - _TNY_6470
This is a comb-footed spider known as Anelosimus vittatus. The background might seem a little odd, but is actually an acryllic table cloth my mom has on her patio table and the pattern on is chequered with small green and blue squares.
Blue and green, you say. But this one is all green? Yeah, but that is because this shot was taken at 5:1 magnification (not super easy with a moving spider) and the body length of this one is just 2.2 mm (or 0.087" if you prefer freedom units) so it is well within just one green square here.
