Absolutely lovely, congratulations! Beats Argiope bruennichi that I admire on the dry meadow in front of our institute every day. Is E. niger a synonym or another species? Go on that lucky, Sundew |

Yes, Eresus niger is now synonym of Eresus cinnabarinus. E. sandaliatus is another species and there are two more species in Iberian peninsula, I think. But I can't distinguish. Congratulations Jorge, I never have seen these spectacular spiders. |
