   More spiders from the Galloping Goose Trail, photographed by Ian Cooper and identified by Dr Robb Bennett.  The first is an artistic photograph, but not the easiest to identify!   However, Dr Bennett is happy to go to Family – Linyphiidae – and sex – male.

    Dr Bennett writes, of the next two:  The other two are both Eratigena duellica. In the second image, the web is a good clue (large messy funnel) as well as the relatively straight eye rows (strongly curved down at the sides in most of the other funnelweb weavers, e.g. Agelenopsis).
