I was hoping for a help with ID-ing this one :)
I found the wee one when I was shopping potted plants that just arrived to the island,
hiding in one of the plants, it's definatly not native here, I've asked around :)



This is how it sleeps, upside down in it's web...


The body is around 5mm, the frontest legs are really pointy
and set real high, it always sticks them in the air when walking and the knees on the frontest legs look a tad fluffy :8o



just woken up, a belly shot :p


Walking up the plastic container...


His royal cuteness :D
so tiny, have no idea what to feed him/her/it been putting fruitflies in there with him
but they just trample all over the web and don't get stuck at all *shock* also put a bit of fruit and veggie just in case (I know NOTHING about spiders)
If you can't identify maby some feeding sugestions?

Thanks for looking!

Uloborus sp. They seem to spread by plants. Some has also been found in Finland lately.
