beautiful shot
I love the web and dark blue background. Nice one. Gibberosa does appear to be the best match. Someone did a nice job on the genus info page.

Looks a little bit like a Man
Looks a little bit like a Mangora species, doesn't it?

(Andrew, I do wish that your otherwise excellent images were a tiny bit larger.)

added a closeup
Hi Kevin, thanks for having a look. I posted a bigger crop of the spidey. I have a set size I do things because of my own website. Easier to post a blowup of this or that part, but keeping my sizes.
