Strong Colours - _TNY_2826

After a nice swim in lake Öjesjön, a bit outside Härnösand, Sweden, we found this little guy on the towel. It is most likely a cucumber green spider (Araniella cucurbitina), but there is a chance it could be an Araniella proxima instead. The red legs with large bristles outs this one as a male.

 

To see how the female (A. procima) looks, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50983126922/
