What spider? link to pics inside

Hi guys,
Ok, i went to my local store 2 days ago and got my self a p.striata sling.
At the same time i got some really small crickets for it. I got home and gave it one ( nailed it! ) but before i closed the cricket tub i noticed a small spider in there along with a moult hangin from the lid by a thread? Its really tiny but with long legs and is very fast! the markings are faint but it looks like it has 2 or 3 bands of black on each leg, a black jagged stripe down the centre of its ass with the rest of the spider like a sandy color. Any idea's?? I did try to get pics but its that small the camera wont capture it good enough.

Ass ? Be more scientific man . Abdomen . Just put it in a container with substrate and feed it and see how it turns out .

It would probably be a good idea for both of you to watch the language as stated in The Rules

I know its not the worse swear word out there, but there are rules to the forum located here. Not trying to tell you what to do or yell at you or anything because im not a Moderator and its not my business, but I figured I would give you guys a heads up so it doesnt become a habit and get you infractions.

Smallara, Actually that would be opisthosoma- if you wanna be more specific/scientific, that is

i did not think another name for a donkey was a swear word my bad :?

It's very likely a Thanatus vulgaris. They're known for being found in cricket shipments, containers etc.

Ok, but thats not the context you used it in. Like I said, its not a terrible swear word, and its not really my business, but I thought I would give you a friendly warning to save future infractions. Im not here to argue man, and im not meaning to come off snotty or hostile or anything so I apoligize if I am.

Yea pictures would probably help a ton for others to ID (true spiders arent my thing). I know you said you cant get a close picture but could you get a far away picture and then edit it to zoom in and crop it?

Its cool dude, i was just havin a laff. I have some pics but they aint the best will see what i can do. Im thinkin venom may be right though!

I always hear stories of spiders coming in fruit shipments from different countries and I thought thats just the coolest thing. It would be awesome to find a T from another country in a shipment of bananas, although it might not be so cool to find certain other species of true spider, lol.

They have one in my local store that was brought to them from a banana shipment at the supermarket, its a small orange spider but they said its feeding well and as soon as it hits the cricket they are dead! no idea what it is though, uploading pics now anyway, have a link shortly!

Hm, perhaps a species of running crab spider?

As venom mentioned, it looks to me like Thanatus vulgaris seems to fit, based on the picture and that they are commonly found with feeder crickets.
