Well spotted Bruce. I was watching some Zebra spiders yesterday. Spent a couple of hours watching but saw no captures. Nicely done.

Graham - There were several in this one area and I was lucky enough to watch a fairly serious (but brief) scrap between two of them. Unfortunately nothing I could record with a still camera - it was on of those occasions when I wished I had the Nikon D300S (rather than the D300) with video facilities.

Great image Bruce, very nice detail and colour, also a great find, especially with the molted Earwig, haven't seen any of these spiders this year so far.
