Common House Spider

Parasteatoda tepidariorum

Notes:

A REALLY tiny spider with a shiny, bulbous abdomen and long legs. He was about the size of a pencil eraser (legs and all). I'm fair certain he's full-grown or close to it. He was living in a tangled mess of webs in the space between some tree branches and had plenty of dead prey littered around the web.
