Adult Jumper ID Please

[GrayB]

Hi Everyone,

I found this Jumper at work last week but have no idea of ID or even if it's a British species as where I work we have alot of goods from Europe, so if someone could just let me know if or not it's a British Jumper it would be a great help.
Cheers.

Could be Phlegra fasciata, not a common species, in the UK at any rate.

John,
Thanks for your help with this. The images I've viewed are very similar and it is the closest I've found to a positive ID, thanks again.
Cheers.
Gray.

As is said, not a common species. Until recently, typing "Phlegra fasciata nbn distribution" would bring up a distribution map from NBN, but alas this has now been improved and you get the information about what data might underly a distribution map, if you can find it. Has anyone found the thread to this labyrinth, and if they have will, they share it? Progress has ridden down the simple solution and now is proudly sitting in the wreck of a former system that worked well.
