| | | Amaurobius ferox
Hi. having realised I can upload larger pics Iwas hoping for some info on this one to help try and ID it. I thought at first that it was an amaurobius ferox but the pattern on the abdomen are not consistant with previous pics I have taken. Any ideas?  |

That's a much better photo  , don't forget to give sizes, and UK location as well as habitat (I'll keep saying it you know :P) A.ferox can be quite indistinct and variable, it really depends where you took this photo?

I should know - I hardly got any sleep last night 
Des's very knowledgeable on spiders.

Sorry Venger lol. I will get it into my head. It was taken in Bristol, England. (South-West). abdomen maybe around 10mm. Also took this pic same place, size, etc but very different pattern  |

Ok fangs to spinners would say 18mm maybe up to 20mm. found under wooden boards in my companys builders yard. Hope this pic isbig enough. Notice that the pattern on this one is largely different to the original photo above  |

Forgot to mention, on the secondpic it almost looks like the spider has palps? but to me it looks like a female. Any thoughts? | | |
