Heliophanus cupreus

27 Dec 2014 9 1 1005
A tiny jumping spider, Heliophanus cupreus I think (would welcome confirmation) photographed at Llanymynech Rocks nature reserve last May. Now confirmed as most likely to be Heliophanus cupreus based on the dark femora on all legs, its the commonest species that looks like this. Microscopic examination would be needed to fully confirm ID. My thanks to Nigel Cane-Honeyset.
