Neon reticulatus

Neon reticulatus (Blackwall, 1853)
Reported to be a common spider, but there are relatively few Nottinghamshire records. Neon reticulatus is usually found low to the ground amongst leaf litter etc. This is a small species measuring only around 5mm in length, but the immature in the lower four photographs was slightly smaller. Found several times at Sherwood Forest CP in the past few years, but three turned up in a Pine needle/leaf litter sample from Market Warsop Cemetery in late February 2020.
