Theridion grallator Simon 1900

Endemic to some of the Hawaiian Islands. This spider has just spun a web across my rain gauge and posed for a few photos.

These spiders are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. This spider was on my rain guage and allowed me to photograph it. They often live on the underside of leaves in the rain forests. Elevation approximately 3500 ft. (1067m).
