Didn't realise it when I first took the first photo, then as I checked that the focus was OK by zooming in the screen on the camera, I spotted eggs behind her, and she then proceeded to tend them as I watched...
She is approximately 3mm long I reckon.
These are all fairly similar, but I was looking for the better angle so processed them all *:)

How do you know she is pregnant....or even that it is a she....?
Cheers SB.
I am assuming she is pregnant because her underside seems opaque - assume from egg carrying swelling the body?

An excellent find and set.
You seem not to have noticed the cocoon over the eggs.

Thanks Harold.
I saw the strands but I didn't realise this was part of a cocoon...
