Kai found this white-abdomened spider on a rock in the brush of Daniel's Park in Highlands Ranch. There was no web to help identify her, but given the eye pattern and leg combs on her back legs (visible in other shots), I think she's some kind of cobweb spider (Theridiidae). The White Widow seems like a good title for this one.

She was pretty tough to photograph, not holding still till I moved her from a rock to a branch. She was very small (.5 cm?) so perhaps her coloration is only temporary. Posted by Picasa

A 0.5cm restless spider *is* real difficult to photograph. Nice shot, and very informative.
