Amaurobiidae

Thanks!..Do you know how toxic their venom is? Because when it catches crickets, the cricket looks like it paralyzed when she releases her grip.

hi,
dunno, can´t even tell you the exact species...I´m not that into non European Amaurobiidae..

Im pretty sure its a drassodes (Gnaphosidae) typical ground spider. My 8yr old daughter was bitten when she picked one up, it must have hurt because it made her cry

I agree with Amaurobiidae. Gnaphosidae has prominent spinnerets for one. Could be Amaurobius ferox a "Hackledmesh Weaver".
