Found them in the garden a few months ago,and never got round to putting them up.
First time I saw a British green spider.
First is about 2cm long inc. legs, secong, second about 8 millimetres inc. legs.
So both pretty small, the second tiny.

OK, the top one I think is a Sheet web spider Linyphia triangularis
The other one I still think is a type of crab spider. The closest thing I can find patternwise is Diaea dorsata but it doesn't seem quite right |

It didn't seem to have the crab spider pose/body shape.
New species! _________________

I know, that is what's bothering me. It's only a guess, I assume someone on here will know for sure |

I'd be interested to know what species the green one is. We were on holiday in Dorset (end of June) and came across this, I should say I spotted it on my Dad's back:
It hasn't shown up very well on the photos, but it was a bright metallic green. The closest species I've found (only through Google not reference books) is Araniella opisthographa, the Green Orb Spider.
Great photos BTW. _________________ Best wishes, Jackie

A. opisthographa is a very rare species in the South West, I think you are almost there but it is more likely to be A. cucurbitina
Not sure that it's the same as the one in the top pic though |
