A picture of the epigyne (female genitalia) would be necessary for identification to species level. Niels. |

Additionally a description of the habitat would help to tell, which species is more plausible. P. amentata is one of the most abundant spiders everywhere, but likes fresh to wet places, whereas P. hortensis only occurs on more dry, rocky habitats, spare, dry meadows etc. Could be possible in a sunny stone garden... (In my garden here in northwest Germany and on every meadow, there are zillions of P. amentata, but I have never found P. hortensis for sure.)

The photo was taken on a sunny, warm day on a dry stone wall (former vineyard) facing east to south. The garden is neither wet nor really dry. The animal went into hiding beneath the stones every time I made a sudden move but reappeared after a few seconds. Hope this helps! pjt |
