Spiders for ID

djeyewater · #1 (**permalink**) 07-06-2009, 07:41 PM

Please can anyone help me with IDs for the following. Photos taken recently apart from a couple, which were taken last September (I've put which ones).

Thanks

Dave

1.

Small green spider, looks the same to me as one someone else posted recently that was id'ed as Araniella spp, either A.cucurbitina or A.opisthographa?

2.

Small spider was in my bathroom, about 1cm long.

3.

Baby spiderlings, about 3 egg sacs of these have hatched recently on the lid of our 'green' bin

4.

Jumping spider, Salticus mutabilis?

5.

Photo taken 10th September

6.

7.

Very small I think, on an African Marigold, photo taken 8th September

1 is 1 of the Araniella you mention.
2 Philodromus sp.
3 Baby Araneus diadematus

The 1st impression of No.5 is that it appears to be Opilio canestrinii, a non-native species, not technically a Spider, but an Opilione

Yup, first 3 as aeshna5 has written

'1 is 1 of the Araniella you mention.
2 Philodromus sp.
3 Baby Araneus diadematus'

4:Not Salticus mutabilis, they aren't in the UK. Definitely a Salitcus spp but you can't really tell from a photo.
5:An Opilione - see Action mans reply

6:Dictyna spp
7: Looks like a Clubiona spp
