A spider "Zoropsis spinimana"

#1 Post by fdupre » Mon Mar 06, 2023 1:16 pm

Hello friends,

I share with you a spider captured on my staircase and photographed in macro at 1/1 rate and under a microscope front view with the 4x and 10x objective:

It would be a "spiny-legged Zoropse" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoropsis_spinimana) or a "Tegenaire" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegenaria_domestica) according to the drawing that it has in the "back":
I read on the Internet that there would be 1700 species of spiders in France!

The 1:1 photo is very impressive!

A pretty substantial spider for Central Europe, to me it definitely looks like a Zoropsis spinimana, not Tegenaria domestica - the black stripe on the Opisthosoma and the skull-like shape on the Prosoma/Cephalothorax are very typical, as is the size.

fdupre,

Out of all the bug photos lately I have to say I like the Spider the best-
With that hair looks mammal like.

Hello Dennis,
It is true that this spider has good hair unlike me who does not have a lot of hair anymore ;)
