Found in Southern Hungary - I am pretty sure it's a type of Wolf Spider, because they're quite common in this region, plus the arrangements of the eyes checks out (you can see the other specimens I ran into here).
Its colours are quite vibrant and there's a translucent quality to the legs - I assume it's because it's still a juvenile. I also assume their patterns change as they molt, probably become more boring/darker? I felt a lot more confident identifying adult specimens, but this one has me completely stumped.
I'd like to really know, as I'm keeping this one. Ordered a proper enclosure from a spider store for it, it's arriving in a few days, very excited. It's a very skilled little hunter, caught live prey (meal moths) with ease every time.
Any help is appreciated!
(Once I have the new container, I should have access to better angles to take closer photos!)
