User's notes
These small spiders are starting to reappear after winter. They typically fold their legs around the head end and sit in an upright ambush pose as seen here. The first image shows the rear view of the spider in its ambush pose and the final image shows the spider as they are typically found, looking like a bird dropping on a leaf.
