Hi there,

I got a bunch of crickets today and from the box fell a spiderling. It has a dls of roughly 0,5 cm (bit more than 1/8 inch), tends to climb upwards and does not seem to grip on plastics too well.

I live in northern Germany and the company which send the crickets does not sell any spiders.

Looking forward to your guesses.

By shape and basic patterns it's a wolfie, but I can't see the eye pattern to be 100% on that either.

Not close to a Lycosidae. It's a Thanatus sp. and common in cricket shipments.

Looks likely... I can't tell for sure by the pics, crazy if someone kept a spider going in their cricket colonies for 13 years.. but I suppose it would be hard to stop lol
