Tibellus oblongus
This is quite a large species, and fairly similar at first glance to Pisaura mirabilis. Tibellus oblongus shares similar grassy and well vegetated habitats, although one did turn up in our Market Warsop garden in April 2010. This spider does not seem common at Sherwood Forest, but it's habits make it difficult to find.
