Hi,
A small spider found 60km south of Paris on a calcareous grassland.
About 4mm. 2019.05.23.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello FRV,

I am not guessing because i actually study spiders. However, i am only concerned with spiders of Germany. I do not know about spiders of France. I am not a global expert or an expert at all. I just like to identify and document spiders. I am not German either but Germany is my home now. I have documented Mangora and i believe that the habitus is quite distinct but we are back at the "i am not an expert" point-of-view.

I think that France only has Mangora acalypha and nothing similar but i do not live there.

I've attached a small sample of my own work with a female Mangora acalypha for reference.

Best wishes,
John
