Size with spiders is an upper limit at best as spiders continually moult from the smallest s'ling to full grown adult, so there isn't the convenient size boundary you might get with a post larvae adult insect. The upper limit isn't even hard and fast, as the measurement includes the flexible abdomen which shrinks and grows according to all sorts of factors.<br /><br />As for the 250+ linyphiids, tell me about it, second female oedothorax from my square burnt down 4 hours and I'm still not sure if its o.retusus or o.gibbosus.
