Sorry for being so cryptic there are no other golden daddy long legs, just that this specimen has a golden glow

Thanks @MichaelMulvaney; are there other 'Golden Daddy LLs'. or is there just no 'Gold(en)' in its common name? (I so want to call it that as an 'aide de memoir'!)

I remember talking about E. splendens somewhere on Naturemapr a while back, the species is misplaced in the genus Euryopis and should be transferred to Steatoda. The spider here is a true Euryopis :)
