A Tiny Spider, maybe...?

Post by Ken Ramos »

Don’t know exactly what this is, could be a spider of some sort albeit a very small one and possibly dead, resting or hanging suspended from a pine needle. Pine trees and their needles I often overlook as being a resource for some odd subjects and oftentimes I dismiss them, opting out for something more colorful or eye catching, if I can find it. However, here of late, I am finding that there is quite a diversity of life to be had among the needles of the pines as they provide excellent cover and if the subject is a mottled black and gray, it blends in quite well among or on the dead lower limbs of some pines. A good Robber fly hang out they are.

Definitely not a spider :) . Rather looks like a juvenile leaf hopper to me, although somewhat shrivelled and certainly dead.
