Hey, I'm new to the forums, but sure I will be kind of a regular as I love taking pictures of insects and flowers, yet hardly ever know what they are, haha. Anyway, I've found numerous amounts of extremely small spiders on the brick of my house lately. They look to be about 2-3mm in size. I've never seen anything like them before. They seem to mostly feed on ants. Any help with an ID would be greatly appreciated!
Edit...forgot to include, this is in San Antonio, TX. The spider is in between two bricks. This is where I usually find them.
I suspect that this is a spider known as a wall or stucco spider (family Oecobiidae; Oecobius sp.) - see http://tinyurl.com/ygfjgju - they are known for preying on ants.
