Pisaura mirabilis
Typical behavior of female specimen: she carries her egg sac in her jaws and can look fairly odd.
This species hunts in low vegetation and on the ground. As only one species of this genus present in northern Europe, this spider is unmistakable. It is mature in summer and can be found in grassland, woodland and heathland. Occasionally they will wander into our houses but this is not their normal habitat.
