earthlings: fauna: arachnid

earthling sighted: the tiniest white garden spider.

location: a small sunflower in our backyard garden, willamette valley, oregon.


This miniscule earthling from the arachnid clan was about the size of an aphid and a perfect, glowing snowy white color. 

According to the Oregon Department of Agriculture, "Oregon may have at least 500 species of spiders, but there is no current comprehensive list".  Which probably explains why I had no luck identifying this teeny tiny fellow.

 
 I think his most charming feature are those beautiful sky blue eyes...


Any arachnid experts out there?
 Let me know if you recognize this little guy in the comments section of this post. Thanks!

 It's a beautiful and crazy planet.
Go forth and ramble!
