Hey! First of all, take it easy. Isidro, crex didn't anything... Valter, you must wait just one day, not 3-4 days. :) And remember that rules ask for one species for each thread to avoid confusion. Very soon it will appear some dedicated fora concerning non-diptera insects.

ok. Your last spider is very easy to ID. In Portugal THERE IS ONLY one spider that makes a web like that, and your specimen fits 100% to Cyrtophora citricola (Araneidae). It is very common in South of Portugal. In North I never saw a Cyrtophora citricola. The most Northern spider C. citricola was spotted in Coimbra. They usually are associated with cacti and makes web very near each other - that's why they are called social spiders. (they are not really social... but it is an approximation! There are *really* SOCIAL spiders in Africa, for example, on high of trees.)

Remember, this forum is very good. We must be respectful and take care of it, specially in a forum with this quality.

Keep sending your photos, but one species for thread. :) You can send for one thread the photos you desire IF it is the same specimen. The best would be to have dorsal view, frontal view, rear view, and sometimes ventral view. :)
