Found trapped in the bath at home. Size...body 5mm.Is this A.ferox or A.similis? Or something else? Maybe one for Juergen and Chris to fight about again....Still haven't got a ring-flash :|.

Edit; Change of Photograph.

Thanks Chris
Probably enough fighting going on in the world anyhow, without starting another one, but Amaurobius sp. how boring is that :|?
Regards anyway, Roger

Hello!

No fights this time hopefully! Amaurobius sp is the best you will get for this one.

There is a good chance to get an ID between fenestralis and similis (I'd go for the latter one, female) on http://forum.spin.... It's a german forum, but occasional english posts will be ok. There are some people, who have special interest (and knowledge) in these two species.

Hi Juergen
Had a look at that Website..looks OK..but my German is NIL. I wouldn't know where to start registering, and sending photo's. I make a big enough ass of myself on this site without spreading it through to another one ;).
Regards Roger

It's not that difficult:

On top left: "Bitte einloggen oder registrieren" (log in or register) you click on "registrieren". Then you have to put in a username ("Benutzernamen"), e-mail adress ("E-Mail") and password ("Passwort w�hlen") 2x (choose and confirm). Terminally to have to write the given five letters of a captcha for verification.

Photos you can upload when editing a post ("Neues Thema" = new posting) under "Erweiterte Optionen" (extended options) -> "Datei anh�ngen" (attach file).

Hi Juergen
It would be a lot simpler if you did it on my behalf ;).
I don't know if I should inflict myself on any more people, other than the good folks of Diptera.info who are very tolerant....;).
Regards Roger

I have about 40 photo's of this spider I think...they are on a Portable Hard Disk at work so not sure at the moment.
