Hello I am new to this site but this morning I saw this amazing red spider in my garden and I think it was a Dysdera crocata. I have never seen one before here in Southern Ontario. I looked at your wonderful site and the photos and noticed that someone has seen one in Niagara and Toronto. So even though I wasn’t quick enough to get a photo…I thought I’d at least report that I saw it. It was a darker red on the cephalothorax and had a lighter reddish yellow abdomen.
Cheers!
Does anyone have any idea what this is?
