Thanks - I had 7 different types of spider this afternoon when I was cleaning out an overgrown section of my garden. Benthic riffle-dwelling macros are my thing when it comes to arthropods. I like spiders, but except for a couple of varieties of orb-weaver (and the brown recluse), I don't have much experience ID'ing them. Any help is appreciated :)
