Original - The "nursery web" spider Pisaura mirabilis on Plantago lanceolata.
Reason
A very high quality photograph with excellent resolution. Have added#2 to the FPC title so I wouldn't have to overwrite an older (failed) FPC nom of the same species.

  • Question How big is he/she? The article doesn't talk about sizes and I've never seen that plant before that I recall - Plantago lanceolata gives the massive range of 10–40 cm for the flower stems so that doesn't help. Mfield ( talk) 05:49, 11 February 2009 (UTC) reply
According to one website, the male is 10–13 mm, the female 12–15 mm. Sasata ( talk) 06:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Is the fact that the spider is off-center an issue? I think the actual spider looks great (I was wondering about it being quite small-looking, but I now see it is a small species) but the composition has thrown me a little. J Milburn ( talk) 18:17, 11 February 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Support Nice clear picture. Terri G ( talk) 19:56, 12 February 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Support: As much as I hate looking at spiders, this is a superb image. The whole of the spider is so clear and sharp. For what it's worth (being not much of a photographer or reviewer), I actually like the subject slightly off-centre. Not for everything; but it works here. So many macros/close-ups are dead centre, which can become a little dull. Maedin\ talk 20:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC) reply
