Two-spined spider in action

One of the reasons I couldn't find any information that would have helped identify the two-spined spider which I had found in my garden was that I thought, without any doubt, that the bug was immobile. I never saw it moving until the night after I finally knew what it was.

As two-spined spiders are nocturnal, I got out at night to see what the spider in my garden was doing. It was a spider in deed, with legs moving, hanging on a web it was making.
