Really tiny spider

About 1/8" long.

I must be really out of practice. First, I couldn't get the flash to work, then when it fired the picture still did not show. I finally got a few pix but none that I liked very much. I probably should have discarded them all but I thought I would share at least one. Maybe someone here can help me. SS:1/100, f/9.0, ISO: 800.
My flash trigger died so I had one speedlite off camera left, A 2nd light on camera triggering the off camera light. Magmod dome on camera. Off camera light diffused with paper towel.

I had several pix that I could view on camera but when loaded onto computer they showed up black.

That is a tiny one and so hard to get good shots of them.

Thank you for viewing Brenda. I think it may be a Jumping Spiderling. I found it on my office floor and put it on an Amaryllis leaf for contrast. Shortly later I saw it hanging from a silk thread below the leaf and I photographed that and on the camera screen I could actually see the spider as well as the silk. When I loaded on the computer those shots appeared black. If I still have them maybe I'll take a 2nd look. Maybe because the spider is so small the first glance I only saw the black background. If it's there maybe I can crop enough to post.

A bit later I found the subject hanging from the Amaryllis leaf. Significantly cropped
