Uloborus glomosus
Male and female in the same web. They were so small! I couldn't get the clearest pictures with my phone, but I did my best to get different angles for detail, dorsal and otherwise. They were a bit too high up for comfort. They (the male especially) would bunch their legs together and sit straight and still if I got too close, looking a bit like web debris.
Found midway up in the branches of a juniper tree.
These spiders also have a light form and a dark form. Additional resource(s): iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/153730-... | Spider ID: https://spiderid.com/spider/uloboridae/u...

Great spotting Matthew.
One interesting things about this genus they are non venomous - I think the only ones.
