Yet another Spider found wandering about at Scatsta (wildlife sanctuary)Airport. Can it be named without resorting to fisticuffs among the ranks ?

Hello, Roger! rogerthomason wrote: Yet another Spider found wandering about at Scatsta (wildlife sanctuary)Airport. Can it be named without resorting to fisticuffs among the ranks ? At least it should be safe to say it's Agelenidae. Possibly Tegenaria sp.. But you have some other species there, not known from central Europe...

Thank you Juergen, I only have 4 species of Agelenidae on my Checklist (for what it's worth). Three of those are Tegenaria: T.saeva,T.gigantica and T.domestica. The other one is Textrix denticulata. T.gigantica has a (?) behind it so choice of the rest.  Regards Roger |

From these Tegenaria species only T. domestica also occurs here (but it's rather rare, the normal "house spiders" here are T. atrica). T. domestica is generally less distinctively marked on the abdomen than the other species and has clearly banded legs. So yours could possibly be T. domestica. But without warranty...

Cheers Juergen, I'll go and check some websites and look at a few, now that I have half an idea what to look for. I'll leave the "ID'd By" section as is, till I get a positive ID. Saves some Smart-ass coming in at the last minute with the proverbial "no it isn't" Not naming names |
