Harvestman at Large
Tibellus sp - Explored
One of two field indistinguishable and rather atypical crab spiders. Tibellus has an elongated body well suited to lying along grass stems for camoflage. They are quite common in marshy grasslands, and in sand dunes.
Older books say T. maritimus is a sand dune species and has more spots than T. oblongus, but this is not reliable, and my experience is that T. maritimus is not the species I find coastally!
I left this one where it was so I don't know which species it is. Seen at Magor Marsh.
