| | | Spider ID please
My daughter just found this spider(ling?) in her bedroom. She says she's seen a few. It's tiny. What is it? 
Thanks! |

It's a bit difficult to say for certain, but considering the size, colouring and from what I can see of the eye grouping it may possibly be an Oonops species, ( Oonops pulcher being the most common or Oonops domesticus found in houses). If you can get a close up of the eyes there will be six as opposed to the usual eight. Also it looks to be mortally wounded I'd say!

Thanks No.9 Spider
Sadly, yes and not intentionally I hasten to add! My daughter was upset when she realised.
Is this a fully grown Oonops?
I will try to get a close up.. |

I will try to get a close up.. | Fully grown Oonops sp. are only 1.2 - 2mm fully grown so your specimen probably is. O. domesticus is nocturnal and lightning fast when running on walls.
