This little guy was crawling on my neck. He probably came from either an Apple or Hawthorn tree because I took a branch of each on the way home today. It's about 10mm from the tip of the front leg to the foot of the backmost one. Anyone know what type it is?

It's very cool, but my camera isn't good, so apologies for that.

If it were me it would only be identified by its teeth (fangs)!

I hate killing spiders but that looks dangerous.

Very dangerous I'd agree - if you're 5mm long!

Ha ha good point! Except we don't know what it is so it might not need be any bigger to do the damage!
