Coriarachne depressa? <=

[Arne Willenberg]

Liebe Spinnenfreunde,

ich traf heute diese kleine Krabbenspinne, ist es Coriarachne depressa?

Fundort: Nordwestthüringen, LK Eichsfeld, Waldkiefern-Wald bei Leinefelde. Hinter Kiefernborke.




Herzliche Grüße

I think it's OK, a nice "discovery"! This is the best time of the year to look for this species, on sunny days early in the spring.
At this time, they come out of hibernation, and can easily be found on the bark of pine-trees, trying to warm up.

best wishes,

Gratulation zum Tollen Fund!

@Frank: Thanks for that advice! I hav found that species only once, dangling from the pine-bark in the air. Than I lost the jar with it ((

LG,
Jonathan

Here in Holland I regularly find them together with Philodromus margaritatus, also an interesting and quite rare species (in the Netherlands)
Both species are much harder to find in the summer, in my experience. Two weeks ago I already found 5 Coriarachne depressa on just about 10 trees
I'm still looking for my first Philodromus margaritatus this year, hope to find it soon.

best wishes,
