Clitheroe UK, 24 March 2011. This looks darker than most of our Salticus scenicus. Is it just a colour variation? Stephen R attached the following image:  [77.18Kb] Edited by Stephen R on 29-03-2011 00:45 |

Hello, Stephen! Stephen R wrote: This looks darker than most of our Salticus scenicus. Is it just a colour variation? Not genus Salticus. Looks like Pseudeuophrys, but from this angle one can't be sure. Do you have a more dorsal pic? And a description of the habitat (P. lanigera is abundant at houses here)?

Thanks, Juergen. The only other view I took shows little more. The spider was on the top of a low stone wall in the park - lots of crevices to hide in. I often see Salticus in the same place.

Hello, Stephen! Here at our house there are numbers of Salticus scenicus and Pseudeuophrys lanigera together (and often Marpissa muscosa). Pseudeuophrys erratica is not so synanthropic. Your's must be a male of either P. lanigera or erratica - with lanigera having two yellowish spots near the end of the abdomen. Therefore a dorsal pic could have been the clue...

Many thanks Juergen. I'll look out for another one and get a dorsal shot if I can! |

I found it again today in the same place. Does this help?

I can see it's not the same individual. Is this one female?

Hello, Stephen! Stephen R wrote: I can see it's not the same individual. Is this one female? Yes. The palps are not thickened, and it is less dark (especially the legs) than the male.
