   Photographs from Colquitz River Park last night by Ian Cooper.  Thanks to Dr Robb  Bennett for the spider identifications.  Dr Bennett writes  that the first is a species of Cybaeus – almost certainly Cybaeus signifer. A mature female.

The second, he writes, is a theridiid cobweb spider in the broad genus concept of Theridion (i.e., possibly a member of one of the many genera that have more or less recently been split off from Theridion.

   Jeremy Tatum speculates:  This individual doesn’t look quite typical.  I wonder if it has just undergone ecdysis.  Or maybe a different species?
