This small spider appeared on my hand while attempting to photograph our local robin in full song. It was about 2-3mm in length, the body appeared shiny black, but with a green sheen to it. The euonymus shrub that I was standing beside was its probable habitat. I cant find a likely candid for this creature can anyone put a name to it please.
