Theridion tinctum
A common spider of bushes and trees, where it often frequents the webs of other spiders that it feeds on. This spider was one of several found in a Worksop garden in mid-April 2010. Probably common throughout Nottinghamshire, Theridion tinctum does show a bias towards a more southerly UK distribution.
