Tweener, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5453
Here is a friendly young raft spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus) I met in the Mjällådalen nature reserve in August (of 2023).
As juveniles, these guys have greenish legs (like here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52986368019/) but as adults, the legs darken into the same brown as the body (like here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/29583270096/)
This one appears to be somewhere in between.
For a shot of the same spider on my fingertip, please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53608128894/
