Sideburns - _TNY_0776

The nursery web spider (Pisaura mirabilis) is quite variable in colours and patterns, but there is one identifying characteristic which makes it easy to discern from all other Swedish spiders: the pale sideburns on the side of the face - something very apparent from this particular angle of a pretty female specimen.
