Hi mike, you appear to have photographed her tummy, any chance of nipping round the back and putting up a pic of her back as most of the identifying catalogues use mainly that view. Possibly a Wolf spider or a Pirate spider but there are about 5000 British arachnid geni with several species in each genus.
Hi Carl, if I'd nipped round the back of her I'd have been facing directly into the sun; and f I'd tried to turn her over I think she might well have won (in any arm wrestling competition she had twice as many limbs as I, and all of hers looked muscular and well developed). Discretion is...... Love, Mike.
You can take a leaf out of the spider's book, Mike. Remember the rhyme of Ispy, Whispy Spider and the apochryphal tale of Robert the Bruce... I'm sure if you persisted you could eventually outwrestle each of her limbs, but a good at-tourney would tell you you have already won by default... use of legs in an arm-wrestling challenge is prohibited!... I look forward to seeing her obverse depicted.
Hi Crowbard. 'Ispy Whispy Spider' ??? Surely the rhyme you quote deals with the National Exhibiion Centre in Birmingham. It start off 'E.N.C. wincy spider climbed the water spout...............'
By George, Mike, I do believe you have the right of it yet again, it was Incey Wincey Spider... however, spiders are definitely not N.E.C.ky... head fits straight onto the thorax... too many anagrams in your cross-words I suspect! I never could recall names of distant octo-podal relatives ( and our relationship with arachnids is many millions of years distant)... It doesn't impinge upon the basic moral of the rhyme about persisting till you succeed though.

PS that is a truly excellent shot of her tummy... amazing what the box-Brownie will reveal?
