Arachtober 10

Oecobius navus is so small they are known as speck of dust spiders and also wall spiders.

This one is walking along the very thin edge of a slat of one of my cedar venetian blinds. These spiders build flat webs with lateral openings under rocks, on ceilings and around the corners of walls.

Female 3 mm length
