I must tell someone about this. I had a visit this afternoon from the tiniest spider I've ever seen--her body is the size of the head of a lace pin (not a glass-headed pin but a regular lace pin), She walked all over the lace I was working on, climbing up individual pins and weaving through the forest of pins. She even spun a tiny web between a pair of pins farther apart than the rest, out by themselves because I'd already removed the pins around them. I couldn't see the web but I could tell it was there because she'd walk from one of the pins to other through thin air between them. After about a hour of keeping me company while I continued to make lace, she started for the edge of the pillow, so I had her walk up on my fingernail and transferred her to a windowsill.
I think I was visited by Arachne herself and I shall have luck on that pillow!
