Hi all,

This very small (about 0.75 cm diameter) and very colourful spider was hanging around our balcony for a few days while on holiday in Mexico. We had some clothes out there and when we took them in, we discovered that she had put loads of web all over a t-shirt and laid anout 8 small orange eggs underneath it.

I have googled and googled but come no closer to identifying this insect. Can anyone help?

many thanks,

Jess
