A very small dark spider. I was fascinated by all the spikes around the edges of his cephalothorax and his pedipalps.

This spider was very tiny. It has spots on the sides of its abdomen; the white spot isn't a shiny spot. There's a small dim white spot near the rear, then a dark spot, and then the larger, brighter white spot, on both sides. The eyes are clustered all together up front in a black "mask".
