Zebra Spider Salticus scenicus

It took some time but managed my first female spider this evening. Salticus scenicus is one of two common jumping spiders the other being S.cingulatus. Separation is said to be possible by the arrangement of hairs on the abdomen but I couldn't work this out so decided to opt for the epigyne instead. This was more successful although took some time and a little plucking to be satisfied.
