Re: Long spider for identification
Firstly: Apologies for a very misleading scale bar. Please note that the whole scale measures just 1mm NOT 2mm as the position of the number might suggest. I will modify it before uploading to the WAB Gallery.

Thanks Geoff, I've done some Googling on your suggested id and there is a very strong resemblance. I saw no evidence of the long mandibles that you usually see in long-jawed spiders (I have pics from other viewpoints). Are they just hidden under the pedipalps do you think?
