Even if the spider is feeding on ants, doesn't necessarily mean, it belongs to Zodariidae:)
The specimen on the pic definitely posses features of Theridiidae. Regarding the size, prey, coloration and shape, I may assume, it's Theonoe minutissima. May be you have a high-resolution pic of the prosoma, so I can see the shape and position of the eyes?

Thank you, Armen for your interest.
Sorry, I don't have any high-resolution pic of the prosoma. I have made a cut of the image, although I do not know if it will do.
Regards!
