User's notes

In the same place for four days now. Photo 2 shows a thread of web from one male's abdomen. Two males and one female. One male is quite active while the second is content to sit in the same spot for long periods, occasionally being disturbed by a passing ladybird (three species). This male and the female were within one inch of each other for quite a while but no interaction.
