I'm in the UK I got it from pets at homeWhere are you from / where are the crickets from?
Good luck, in my personal observations of both of them in the wild, a grass spider will make a funnel web and a fishing spider will act as a wandering spider or construct a shallow burrow.Cool thank you I shall look into them
No.I'd place my bet on either a grass spider or fishing spider
We only have two fishing spider species. One is only found in a very few ditches in the Norfolk and Cambridgeshire Fens. The other isn't quite so restricted but still only found in a few spots.that does seem to be it, the only reason i said fishing spider or grass spider was the marking on the carapace, here in canada 95% of our grass/fishing spiders have a carapace like that
neat, the dolomodes here in manitoba are so abundant that you might find 20 in one square meter near the water, atleast thats the case around lake manitoba. We also have a fishing spider that is between 5-7 inches that im not sure is described yet, or if its just an oddly large locality of D.tenebrosus.We only have two fishing spider species.

T. vulgaris is very common here in the UK. Its non native, but well established. They get bigger than the one shown in this thread but are still fairly small.
When I had one I just left it in the cricket tub.
