Theridion sp.

    Family - Theridiidae
    Genus - Theridion
    Twenty-two species of Theridion in Northern Europe.
    Spins webs of criss-cross strands.

    'Theridion mystaceum/melanurum, can't be separated from photos and
    often pretty difficult even with adult epigyne/palp under a microscope.
    If from near buildings rather than semi natural habitat probably
    melanurum, although could still be either. Bird hide suggests melanurum
    most likely, but pure guesswork' Peter Harvey BAS
