Default Odd hitchhicker on plant

Here is a web site that has descriptions of some aquatic spiders on it for
you. I have heard of them and we even have some in Georgia. Check it out
and see if your guy is there. Watch out though if you are breeding
fish--some may become his lunch!

I've gotten the requisite snails and even some hydra on plants before, but
what I saw today surprised me. One of my microsword bundles has a tiny
spider, web included. Now, these plants have been underwater for at least

2
weeks, if not longer. They are currently finishing up a stay in Ellis
Island (my quarantine tank) before being transplanted into their permanent
home. It's tiny, reddish body, black abdomen. Any ideas?
