| | | Amaurobius similis?
Would amaurobius similis be a good bet for this handsome fellow, who I found in the kitchen sink on 19.11.09.
I am in Long Eaton in SE Derbyshire.
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards, Nik.  |

Could well be, Amaurobius sp., and fellow he is. A close up shot would be good.

A. fenestralis and A. similis look very much alike; why do you think it's the latter? |

Thanks for the quick replies. Unfortunately a close up shot was not possible as my camera is not good at macro.
I thought Amaurobius similis due to the number of 'chevrons' that I saw on the abdomen, i.e. 4, unfortunately this is not very aparent on the photo. Also that he was inside the house made me think of A. similis.
Best regards, Nik. |

A good indicator, probably more so in mature females, is the cardiac mark which in A. similis tends to be separated down the centre. It is not however 100% reliable.
