Could someone please tell me what this spider is? Found a pair of them under some rubble next to my house, they had a kinda blue tint to them:  
Thanks!

That's Amaurobius ferox. I'd like to find one, someday ;-)

Thanks for the ID! Do they not have them in Holland? Or are they not that common?
Thanks,

We have them, but apparently they're not as common as they're supposed to be, because I've been actively collecting spiders for a couple of years and I've never found one.

frits_b, how can you tell ferox apart from fenestralis or similis?

There are probably more differences, but these are the ones I use. The more (pictures of) spiders you see, the easier it gets ;-)
