There are some 50 species of Theridion

Someday BugGuide may get a Theridion expert to stop in, or Lynette and we might dig into the group and see what we can figure out, but right now, we're stuck at the genus level, sorry

Thanks John, Jane, and Lynette

Any chance for a species ID or would that require microscopy?

Yes I think you've picked the right genus. Great shots. Let's see what others think.
