Nice spider Malcolm! Please consider adding this & your other British spider spottings to the new Spiders of the British Isles mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2977...
BugEric, Thanks so much for your incredible expertise, you have certainly made a huge contribution in such a short time here. It is okay though to post multiple specimens of the same species if they were spotted in the same place in the same time frame. It is only when they are spotted in different places or on differrent days that we ask they separated into individual spottings. Lisa
Slight correction, 1st one looks like same species but different leaf or part of, pictures were taken 12 seconds apart. I'm trying to recall, I think there was more than one spider in each web system and location, but all were in the same small garden area. I have taken the other two off and will post separately. BTW, I know nothing of spiders except the 17 in my British wild-life book, so I am heavily reliant on your expertise in this area. I'll just stick to birds! But I will photograph whatever comes my way!
Thanks Eric. I know the 1st 3 are all the same spider, same leaf, just a different angle. The other two I will move later, but first I need to extract the location/date/time data and my program is busy at the moment. Just to clarify, our policy is "same species, same place, same day" can usually go into one spotting, with notes in the text for more than one, ie male, female, juvenile or which one is which.

I think there are at least three (probably 4) separate spiders here. Can you please post for each SPECIMEN? Thank you, apologies for shouting :-)
