Spiders






Here are a selection of some of the spiders we saw in various parts of Lesvos, the first was quite common and as you can see appeared to be smiling from the rear.
Number two and three was a Philaeus chrysops (male) small but colourful.
Number four was a Salticidae species, a type of jumping spider, again not very large.
Number four was found under a large rock in the Achladeri forest and appeared to be a black widow spider type, and was in her nest with her large brood.
And finally number six was in the grassland near the Kalloni pools and was very small.
Any help in ID would be appreciated, my email address near the top of the blog.
