Also in the trap was this tiny spider, about 2mm long (head and body, not the legs). Anyone know what it is?

The next night with moths was Wednesday night, when the trap contained Dotted Border, Common Quaker and 2 Chestnuts.

A single Chestnut on Thursday night then last night just a single moth in the trap despite slightly milder conditions. That one was new for the house though, so not complaining: Winter Shades Tortricodes alternella. It's a common species at this time of year but one that I've only encountered a few times myself. Nearly all of them have been well worn, and this one was no exception.
