[ID] Three Salticids, please!

[Jason Green]

Afternoon all,

First off, two from earlier in the year - both on the same day in fact, in June I recall.

June 2010

Two different species - maybe Pseudophrys lanigera and a blackish Heliophanus sp.?

...and then today, below. Whilst examining the head of a Ragwort, my attention was drawn to a shape emerging from a corner. I recognised it as a Salticid of course, it seeming familiar as a species. Back home I think I have identified it as the rare-ish Marpissa muscosa - the Fencepost Jumping Spider. Funny, it was on metal fencing at the time! It grabbed a Mayfly whilst I was watching.

Perhaps Marpissa muscosa?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Take care,

Jason

Afternoon Jason,
I agree with your first ID. Second image appears to be Heliophanus cupreus. I have not long photographed one myself.
