Found this handsome fella in my yard . . . . . In "reach out and touch someone" the little bugger started to move before I could get the shot off. Comments for improvements welcome!!

I haven't seen a pic of one so young before, they certainly change their pattern and colours as they grow. Well done on the new birth.
Thanks EnglishBrenda!

👍! Are these on an outdoor plant, or kept in a container?
This is on a leaf I brought into the house. I will continue to raise them indoors.

Hi EnglishBrenda! I believe this one is Uloborus glomosus. And I did not know that about the uloborus. I did witness it yesterday "wrapping" its prey by waving/rotating his hind legs about and jiggling its butt while I was patiently waiting for it to stop moving. This is what I found: "Uloborus glomosus is a species of spider in the family Uloboridae. It is one of only a few Uloborus species found in North America and the only species found in Canada. Like all other species in the Uloboridae, Uloborus glomosus does not possess venom glands, relying instead on cribellate, a fuzzy non sticky silk that they use to trap and then wrap their prey. This species exhibits different disturbance behaviors depending on whether there are eggsacs present. If present the female spider will jerk at the web and if not present, then the female spider will walk to the opposite side of the web." Here are a couple unedited photos. First is spinning, second is eating. Thanks for your comments!

Very good. These are interesting spiders.
They are cool to me cause they hold their 4 forward legs straight ahead while in their webbing! And they have tufts of "fur" in the joints of their front legs. And I love the little car-ear-like projections on their body!

Hi Mark! Yes, there are Arca Swiss groves on the bottom to be able to mount two devices together. It would definitely be a plus to be able to adjust the side to side and front to back working so close with the MPE65.
