Erigonella hiemalis

I very much admire Australians - the fortitude they display when they know that spider in the bath can kill them - and what the Redback in the dunny is plotting, well that doesn't bear thinking about. In the UK things are different. Adult female Erigonella hiemalis can reach nearly 2 mm in length, although males like this one struggle to reach 1.5 mm. It's a dangerous life being a UK Arachnologist - think of the eye strain.
 
Oddly enough, Erigonella hiemalis also turns out to be the answer to yesterday's quiz question.
