I found this little dude in the crickets I bought. Just wondered if anyone could ID it, wanted to know if it was just a common English spider or one escaped from the cricket farm to my tub! Size wise its about 1.25"

Hopefully the pic will show up (my first time at posting a pic)

Sorry, I answered before I looked closely at the photo... It´s either Philodromus phallax or P. histrio. Anyway a native Philodromid.

is it similar to the grass spiders we have here in the US? (sorry don't know the scientific name)
