Description:
Large! Females get up to 2.6 centimeters. Brown, stripes on the legs, black markings on the abdomen.
Habitat:
Fen
Notes:
Pretty sure this is a female. She lowered herself from a branch and was hanging near the path. I put my hand behind her in the second picture for some scale. Had she decided to bite me, it would have been very unpleasant.
