Hi Another robber from mid-Wales, seen in my garden on June 9th 2009. Upland area, surrounding habitat is a mixture of grazing land and mixed woodland. Is it an usually dark, male Leptarthrus brevirostris ? Forgot to say length ~10mm    Steve Edited by SteveNic on 10-06-2009 10:41 |

Hind tarsus fits that of that species.

Thanks Paul, It was the hind tarsus that made me think L.brevirostris, but none of the images or descriptions I could find showed it as being so black. Steve |

It is very dark. Perhaps a little greasy...?
