Tetragnatha extensa ?

Tetragnatha extensa ?
A mating pair of spiders, Tetragnatha extensa I think, taken at Venus Pool Shropshire back in June 2011. The male spider can be seen transferring sperm from its palp to the females epigyne, from here she transfers it to her spermathecae where it will be stored until she uses it to fertilise her eggs..
Taken in natural light and uncropped.
