| | | Double Arachnid ID Assistance Required.
Hello,
I have two arachnids from Hembury Woods near Buckfastleigh in Devon from a couple of a days ago. I am now bleary eyed after trying to identify these two so I would like to ask if anyone can help me out with them if possible.
Regards,
Andrew. |

1st one looks like Metellina sp possibly segmentata. 2nd one is possibly Clubiona sp. |

The second looks like a Bolyphantes species, possibly Bolyphantes alticeps; an interesting find.

Evening,
Thanks for the suggestions Rob and Frits. I shall check the books to see what I can look for to confirm them, meanwhile any advice would be appreciated?
