Ok. I didn't find any Atypus or Argiope in NW Poland in May (probably it was too early) but found these spiders:

The Olio Sp. Looks like a daddy long-leg (lol common name) and if it is, They are technically insects and by looking that one only has 7 legs eh?

I think it says Opilio sp. It is an Opilionid (daddy long leg), not an insect, but definitley an arachnid.

Hello,
great pics, as always!
Honestly, your pictures deserve to be printed in a book, i would buy it!

my bets are:
first picture is Araneus diadematus, second Larinioides sp.,

the Thomisidae are Misumena vatia and Thomisus onustus,

the pseudoscorpion Chelifer sp. ?

greets
Bernhard

Hi!

Thanks for identification! As always :)

Maybe in the future somebody will publish book about insects and spiders of Europe. I'll be glad to help him with my pics :)
