General Observation of Spiders Recorded in November 2017

Neat additions of some species to my recordings this time. Happy to report the finding of two tiny Feather Legged Spiders - super cute to watch them run along their web like normal, but then immediately stretch out into as thin and straight of a line as possible when still. Gorgeous up close as well.
Also found a small orbweaver in a very large and impressive web. Finally spotted a larger brown widow, and a mid-size one. Mostly, they are very small and difficult to photograph. Since they are invasive, I can't say I was terribly excited to see them again, but it was something I hadn't seen in a while.
Not as many funnel weaver sightings, although previously most funnel weaver sightings are during the daytime, so possibly a factor. And of course you can't have spider observations without a cellar spider.
Lots of tiny Steatoda on one day - hatch-lings maybe. There were a few more I couldn't catch in time to photograph (they were soooo small!).
