This Wall Spider[?] that I met in the car while we were out yesterday! Little guy was criminally small and the rest of the family was absolutely floored by the fact that I wouldn't let them just kill it. I wound up letting it out on the wall of a store when we finally stopped somewhere.
Yup, looks like a wall spider! Who would want to kill such a harmless little dude :( glad you released it safely!
In the middle of adding to DJ's part in the fic, a little wall spider decided to web its way down on to my laptop and just chill. I did not sign up for summoning spiders.
#1698 - Oecobius sp. - Wall Spider
One of hundreds occupying the front veranda wall at Yallingup.
A genus of very small spiders that spin webs over crevices in rocks, on walls, and similar species. They use a specialised organ called a cribellum to seperate each strand of silk into many much finer strands as they emerge, to produce cribellate silk that entangles prey animals without requiring sticky droplets, by exploiting Van der Waals forces and strongly absorbing the waxes on an insects exoskeleton.
Wall Spiders are found worldwide, and a few species are cosmopolitan or invasive. In at least one species, resident Wall Spiders won’t contest a web if another wall spider tries to move in, and will simply move out to start another.
@pyrohorse submitted: I'd love to know what this orange moth is, located in coastal Texas. Also bonus extremely tiny spider.
It's not a moth! It's a skipper butterfly. Specifically a fiery skipper. Spider is blurry obvi but may be a wall spider in the genus Oecobius.
@oivermi13 submitted: This tiny thing (about the size of a fingernail) climbed in my fluffy blankets and I had to escort it outside, found in southeast Nebraska. I looked up a bunch of identification resources and none of them seemed to have the same body color plus stripes so I'd like some help cuz it's driving me crazy!
Without more photos my best guess is a wall spider in the genus Oecobius :)

OH A MAN. Tiny tiny man. Wow I love him. Looks like a wall spider, Oecobius navus!
