Tiny marbled spider - Theridion

Tiny marbled spider - Theridion
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
April 17, 2008
Size: Maybe around 2 mm?
These are all likely unidentifiable frass, but still it is cute - so I post for now. I suspect spiderling more than dwarf, but all opinions welcome.

Theridion sp.
Most likely this is an adult Theridion sp., but please wait for confirmation from one of the arachnologists. Not a species (or at least color form) we've presently got at Bugguide I don't think....

 
Theridion
I agree, will try to run this down...
my dad and I had worked out a key to field marks for these little guys, three or four species in old-field junipers...
unless someone has a photo somewhere...

 
more Theridion
sorry, not quite good enough in the photo
although suggestive of murarium...

 
Other images
This is one from last year, not sure if this is what it will grow into?

Is there something else I should photograph. I have 2 of them living about 4 feet from each other outside my front door.
