Hi Nobby, and welcme to WAB 
Yes, I'll wait for that macro I think to confirm - but in the meantime I may suggest the common Missing-sector Orb-weaver, Zygiella X-notata in Latin, for the position/shape of the black markings between the abdomen and carapace ( thorax area in normal insects).
Take care, Jason  |

Hi Jason; thanks for your comments and the welcome - am an occasional lurker but first-time poster.. is a great site.
Here's a better pic of the little crawler: 
I had a look at the pictures of the missing sector orb weaver on eurospiders and can barely tell the difference between the two - let alone which of them my friend is!
Does the better quality pic confirm your initial thoughts?

Thank you both very much for your input - it's nice to have it confirmed!
Will keep it as a pet and throw the odd bug into it's web!
Have spotted a few more inside now, too... hope I don't become overrun!
Thanks again. | | | |
