Thank you Johan, that helps alot, Im never sure how to collect the most info with photo's. This spider was our front gate last night, ill be sure to head out later and see if I can get some more angles! Exciting!

Not a flattie this one. When you take a photo of a spider, fly, etc, try to get a top, front and side view. On spiders a real close-up of the eyes to see the eye pattern also helps with identification. Patterns on the back is also sometimes crucial.

Hi Sanjay, would this spider spin a web? As this one was on a web.
