| | | Spider id please
Hi, found this little fellow crawling up the wall the other day, thought he looked similar to a spider I found a few months ago which turned out to be a Steatoda Paykulliana. This one is different but still interested to know.
Thanks.  |

It looks like Crustulina sticta. |

I'd say a poorly marked specimen of Steatoda bipunctata. What size of spider are we looking at? C. sticta is a pretty uncommon species and only 2.5mm when mature. I think this spider is bigger and also has dark segments on the leg joints which C. sticta doesn't have.
Could really do with more info. really. habitat and size etc...
Oh edit! it was on a wall! and similar to a Steatoda species found previously, so I'd assume similar size.

I can go with Steatoda sp.
The pale band at the front of the body, just behind the head, is a good identifier. |

Yeah, it's about the same size as the Steatoda Paykulliana (which crawled out of a bunch of grapes). I'd say this one is approx 5ml. |

I thought that S.Paykulliana had red markings on it's back?
I can go with S. sp. as it has the cream band but not with the above?
Sorry to disagree guys?

Hi naturegirl, I think you've misread this posting. If you re-read it you'll see that Rod was describing the spider in this thread, as having a likeness to a Steatoda paykulliana that he'd previously found and had identified. He wasn't saying that the spider in this thread was Steatoda paykulliana.
