The color pattern is very variable in the species, and the exact shape of the abdomen is not really obvious in this pic... Cheers Philippe

Their forelegs are still more thickened, they have another habitus (more lengthy) and the markings on the abdomen are never like this (although rather variable). I think it it a young female Evarcha (arcuata?). http://www.spiderling.de/arages/Fotogalerie/species_fg.php?name=Evarcha arcuata Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Since I posted this picture I saw also female E. falcata with markings on its abdomen. So, maybe falcata or arcuata, I do not know. So, it will be Evarcha cf. arcuata.
