Dysdera crocata
this red spider was in the wall of my backyard,only when i see the first photo i remark the red colour,at naked eye it not seems so red,it as aprox:2,5cm
thanks again:-)i trie to improve the photo quality(seeing all the spots i can) and to make the spots easy to id
:-)i love spiders,but in portugal,there a very litle group of poison animals and of all of those only the viper is deadly,so fowlling that line i'am almost certain that if she is poison it will bee only a litle.nothing danger,when i research Cindy tip about the portuguese varietis i'll check that,and thanks for the coment Argy
I'm not too keen on pinkish spiders but that's a very good photo - thanks.
@ Juan I'm not aware of it being poisonous to humans. @Antonio, apparently there are at least four different species of Dysdera in Portugal: D. alentejana , D. fuscipes, D. lusitanica, and D. machadoi. I don't have a good reference book for spiders in Portugal but hope you do :)
:) You're very welcome. Luckily this spider is found all around the world so it's easy to ID :)
thanks Cindy,that was the fasted id that i have seen:-)i allready made the changes,it's the list i can do, make the changes in the moment that i see the suggestions,thanks again
