| | | Theridiidae? Pair
Hi,
I'm having trouble finding anything like these, Theridiidae is the closest I can find. Size ~3mm. 12th May 2010.
Help appreciated, thanks!

Very likely to be a pair, could well be Linyphiidae sp and look similar to possibly Robertus sp.? at a glance. Will have a longer look if I get the chance soon.

Thanks No. 9, I had looked at Robertus and thought there was a good likeness, but that is in Theridiidae?
There's pics of Robertus lividus here, out of the Robertus species we have that one seems to be the most common.

Sorry, badly phrased sentence. Robertus sp. are in Theridiidae, but there are quite a few similar looking species in Linyphiidae also. The male palp that's visible may be a help.

I kind of thought that's what you meant! Shame I couldn't get better photos, but holding a 4 pound weight camera with one hand while holding a leaf with the other to get shots of two 3mm spiders is not the easiest. 
I'll await your posssible verdict, thanks.

I've been looking around and think this is Linyphiidae.
I found a great site! Araneoncus crassiceps comes close, there's pics of male palps.. I haven't been through them all though, but the extra bits sticking out the palps like this one has seems to be not common. Linyphiidae A-D mine edderkopper Summary for Araeoncus crassiceps (Araneae)
