Unknown spider

[MeowySnowleopard]

Anyone knows what kind of spider is that?
Is it a tegenaria?

 

[IllusionQueen]

I think it's a spitting spider. Scytodes thoracica?

Oopsie, my fault
It seems to not run around like crazy, can climb well and it did kill a vibrating spider.....

Now i think it's a spitting spider, is it one?

Yes, i think that too now.....
It may stay inside, so long as it dont kill all vibrating spiders.
And so long as they dont try to steal my vibr.... Uuuhem XD

Are you certain they are spiders? Are in a tangled web and not just on a single thread on not even on a thread? There are several species of insect that vibrate during their mating process, some closely resembling spiders but with six legs and sometimes long antenna resembling a fourth pair. For example the Thread Legged bug of the Reduviidae family.

As a side note, many members of the Reduviids are also spider hunters. Some will land on an outlier spider thread and vibrate to attract the spider. In turn Scytodes thoracica has perfected a method to take on the insect predators - as well as other spiders - by instead of getting in close to bite they spit a sticky substance from a gland similar to a webbing gland but in the thorax, to subdue their prey from a safer distance.

There! Spider!
Dont insult my eyes! Or do you know insects with 8 legs??
Meow, look the photo

I just realized, thats two different spiders lol. The one in the first pic looks pretty clearly female and is Scytodidae, the one in the 2nd pic is male and looks different species. What are you doing OP?? lol

edit: I looked at pictures of male spitting spiders, and that abdomen is not right. So I don't what the 2nd picture is supposed to be.

I think you missed parts of the conversation haha... OP was saying that they don't want the spitting spider to kill their vibrating spiders, but then someone else suggested that OP might have mistaken insects for the vibrating spiders, and so OP posted a photo of a "vibrating spider" to prove their point.

Vibrating spiders eh?

Vibrating spiders eh?

i think they are referring to how Pholcidae will shake erratically in their webs when disturbed

Dark recollections of Portia agitating the edge of the web. Agelenids are especially prone to falling for that trick.

I figured as much. I just never heard them referred to that specifically before. It sounds like a poetic description from a short story.

Poetry, eh? Here's a haiku from my mum:
"The spider web shakes.
The prey, in fearing, it quakes;
a last breath it takes."

Coincidentally, the common name for your “vibrating spiders” is “cellar spider” haha

Yes, but tegenaria is called cellar spider too....
Did you ever heard about "nosferatu spider"? Zoropsis spinnimania

In italy they just....well live there, but dumb german media causes panic because this spider.
