....
A small common jumping spider found in woods, but also relatively open places such as heathland and disused pit tops. Evarcha falcata was found on low vegetation among trees on a south-facing bank at Warsop Main Pit Top in late April 2010 and quite commonly at Sherwood Forest CP in May 2010. The colouration and markings of the male seem relatively consistant, but the female is variable.
