Xysticus lanio

    Family : Thomisidae
    Genus : Xysticus
    Size: Female - 7mm / Male - 5mm
    A new find for me. He appeared on my Bee suit, as I was photographing
    Beekeepers, amid 5 million Honey bees.
    Peter Harvey of the B.A.S. and S.R.S., ID'd him for me as 'an adult male  
    Xysticus lanio, a rather local woodland spider. It is quite a nice spider to
    find'.
