Can you give the habitat and estimated body size, and maybe the 2nd leg size ?.
This one is most likely Mitopus morio, but i`ll wait until you give some more information ... |

Hi,this one was found yesterday on bramble in a woodland ride/fire break ,with a relic of heathland.I would estimate the body length at about 6mm,the second leg was about an inch 25mm or so I would say.Hope this helps.Jason. |

Mitopus morio like to be cool so that is probably what Gordon meant. A woodland habitat suits them better than a sun baked wall, etc.
Certainly a typical colouration for them, although that alone won't give a confirmed ID. |

Thanks Geoff,yes must be difficult giving a certain ID without an extreme close up of these.Thanks again ,and I will seek out the FSC book as well. Jason | | |
