Nice
Nice to have shots of a live one! I'll be posting more dead spiders eventually, and hopefully we can match them up with your live ones. LOL!

Matching spiders
Eric, your spider posts have helped a lot already to confirm a few of my recent ones. And I'm sure I'll be using your pictures to confirm more in the future.

Agree
I forgot about Eric's spider! Looks like it matches all right. Good one.

A. borealis?
I'd appreciate a second opinion, but to me this looks like Amaurobius borealis (going by the diagram in Paquin and Duperre (2003), pg 31.

Great picture, Tom!
