Australian Spiders

Silver Spider
 
Argyrodes antipodianus.
Named after their shiny silver abdomen, these tiny spiders rarely grow more than 2 or 3 millimeters long. Their body is so shiny, it shows up as a fuzzy light ball if I use the camera's flash on them.
The silver spider also lives on another spider's web. I found this one and several like it on an orb weaver's web.
