Pirata piraticus  |
||
| This is a common and widespread spider of Spring and early Summer. Although (like most spiders) there are similar confusion species, Pirata piraticus is distinguishable by the coverging white lines down the centre of the abdomen. This immature male in the upper four photographs, was found in late March 2010 at Eakring Flash, whilst this spider's ability to walk on water, is amply illustrated by the juvenile found at Budby South Forest. | ||
