Phintella xxxxxx
This spider was about 3mm in length. It looks golden from top, although that doesn't show very well in the images. I have only been able to find that it belongs to the phintella genus.

Wow! Spotting of the week!
This made my day.
Unfortunately I don't have much more meaningful photos to add of this guy. I've just added one more. I hope I can take better images the next time I find one (or it finds me, which is a lot more likely).
Congratulations Chetan !
Wow, congrats! I'm glad the spotting of the week is back and what a great choice!

@NicolePramnik: They are not pupils, but the reflection of the cup the spider was in.
Not a fan of spiders but this one IS cute.
How absolutely precious!! It's so tiny I bet it's often overlooked!
What a gorgeous beautiful tiny spider; and impressive super macro pictures..=)
I'm a big spider fan. This one is very pretty and so tiny! Its eyes look like its pupils are actually visible. I didn't know spiders had pupils. :)
lovely!
What an adorable spider!
