Hi Juergen I've trawled through a few websites looking for something that resembles this, but no luck so far...the patterns on some species of Steatoda look kind of similar. As you will see http://www.nature...nverts.htm I only have 2 sp. of Robertus on my Checklist... Finally managed to insert a link   .Regards Roger Might have to go and find this spider again and get a proper photo. Edited by Roger Thomason on 09-04-2009 16:00 |

Hello, Roger! Roger Thomason wrote: the patterns on some species of Steatoda look kind of similar. But the general habit does not fit. Also not for Robertus (too long legs). Looks more like some kind of Theridion and relatives from near genera. But there are many, many species...
