Erigone atra
This is one of the commonest of all UK spiders. Thankfully (for Arachnophobics) this is another of the small money spiders, with a length of little more than 2mm. Erigone atra, is often the species found 'parachuting' when conditions are suitable. The male is illustrated, this one being photographed in our Market Warsop garden in July 2012.
