Hi all!

New here and thought I'd just barge in with a question.

I've been interested in spiders forever, though it's probably a way of dealing with a (rather mild) case of arachnophobia lol :D

I know some of the latin names already (Mostly dealing with pholci[missing syllable], amaurobius and tegenaria here I think.

Got a digicam recently (finally) and I stumbled upon these guys:

(looks like a fairly young one to me ...)

My question would be, are these Tegenaria or Amaurobius? I'm pretty sure I have seen Amaurobius sneak in through the windows before but those look different, but they don't seem to look like Tegenaria either??

Northern Germany, ie, North Sea area climate, Central Europe.

Thx,

Marco :)

Guten Tag
I am not 100% sure about it but I thing that Amaurobius is not synantropic and the pohotos looks like it is indoor. So I gues Tegenaria. Firts picture looks like young T. domectica to me I saw them now a days in my home so it looks like it is their time..Btw: Recently a lot of species of Tegenaria were transported to genus Malthonica.
Do You know this site? http://www.araneae.unibe.ch/
