| | | Zygiella x- nototata male ?
Guessing this is a male Zygiella x-nototata simply because it was hanging around close to a female one. About 2.5mm body length.
Anyone confirm ?

It's certainly a possibility from what you say though I can't say I'm familiar with males of this species. It's a very early male for this species, isn't Z. atrica, and looks as though it's just moulted to maturity which doesn't help with i.d.

Try Theridion tinctum (or Keijia tincta) They're both the same thing.
Zygiella x-notata males have dark palps (or a dark tarsus)

I think Des has nailed that one nicely! Adulations will no doubt follow later
