Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? They are tiny creatures. I've never seen one with an abdomen bigger than a BB.
They will take on anything that the web will hold for a few minutes! Bees, wasps, hornets, doesn't seem to matter to them, and they usually win!
I even saw two of them tag team a large red wasp one day. When they finally subdued it, the larger one ran the smaller one off!

We have two 12' wide by 15' high bay doors in the front of the building with 28 panes of glass in each one. There's a web in almost every corner of every pane.
I could pretty much spend the whole day watching these guys!
Next time they tackle a large wasper, I'll try to get a picture and update this post!
