Enoplognatha ovata

Theridiidae

Enoplognatha

I don't usually collect spiders, but this one caught my eye,    I swept it from mixed herbage here in Sheffield today 22nd of July 2003, it's body measures about 5 mm from front of cephalothorax (head and thorax together) to tip of abdomen.

This picture is of Enoplognatha ovata captured in the Sheffield area of South Yorkshire UK

In this next two of the head-thorax section of it's body you can see it's eyes, but where does it keep it's fangs?.
