From my garden, 5mm long.
At first I thought it was P.bicolor but I seem to remember seeing somewhere that the palps should be all yellow, which they are clearly not.
I'd be grateful for an expert opinion. I still have it so it would be no trouble to look for any important features with the microscope.
Thanks
Peter
