Really tiny spiders
Here are a pair of really tiny spiders that I found in the woods today. The one on the left is just 480 pixels across in another 1:1 macro shot, which comes to 1.9 mm - less than 1/10 inch. (See here for how I figure.) I found it in under an oak leaf. The one in the right is even smaller, just 360 pixels in another 1:1 macro shot, which comes to 1.4 mm - about 1/16 inch. It's on the tip of a cactus spine in our garden. I don't know what these spiders are, but the one on the left is definitely a male with swollen palps. A good thing about the Arachtober quest for spiders is that it makes you look close! Arachtober 27b. (San Marcos Pass, 27 October 2019)
