Heliophanus cupreus
During a resting period, this spider may be found in a silken cell placed under stones or in litter. Adults of both sexes are found mainly in May, June and July, females persisting occasionally into the autumn.
It is widespread in western and central Europe. A species collected from a wide variety of habitats including woodlands, grasslands, raised bogs, coastal cliffs, shingle beaches and wastelands and other disturbed habitats such as quarries. In these varied habitats, it is commonly found in the drier parts, occasionally seen active on the surface but more commonly within litter.
I don't know much about spiders either but I think there is enough variation including sex differences to make it a possibility.
Plus Portugal too ;) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/216...
I have google it but the results always show that between this white signs should be another mark, I have found some that look like they don't have that mark but the area between is either smaller or lighter, I mean maybe this are totally useless observations but I really don't know much about spiders but I do know that their coloration may really vary from many extremes, so please correct me http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details...
