Re: Nerien sp ?

I think you can rule out N. clathrata, it doesn't have annulated legs, like this one has (N. montana is the only Neriene species that does).

Actually the size rules out clathrata, as well as a lot of other Linyphiids.
N. montana is one of the larger species (up to 7.5mm).

I don't know about Drapetisca alteranda, does it occur in the UK?
