Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this 2 cm approx diameter spider on me this morning. May have seen it night before dangling from a high plant outdoors. Freaked out found it in the footwell of my car. Spiky hairs and rather docile.

Could be a member of xysticus species?

I don’t think so. It looks like an Araneidae to me.

Thanks! Looking at other pictures seems to show same characteristics… spiky hairs, flat, round abdomen. It seems closest to pararaneus spectator. Colours differ a bit but it could be lighting.
