Jeremy Tatum writes:  I hope many viewers enjoyed Claudia Copley’s great interview about spiders on the radio this morning (CBC:  NXNW).  While spiders are fresh on your mind, here’s one photographed by Ian Cooper.  Thanks to Robb Bennett for confirming the identification as Cybaeus sp.  Dr Bennett writes:  A mature male Cybaeus. Most likely Cybaeus signifer but could also be either C. reticulatus or C. eutypus. Less likely – could be C. morosus.
