Feather-legged orbweaver ( Uloborus glomosus ) by larose forest photos

This is a very small spider with unusual "feathering" on her legs. She is sitting on a long string of egg sacs out of which will one day appear many tiny spiderlings.

Nice shot showing the feathered legs Christine. It won't be long before it's warm enough to start finding bugs again.
