Tsk silly boy... All Arachnid's have 8 legs thats what makes them fall into the catogory Arachnid.

An arthropod (/ˈɑːrθrəpɒd/, from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint" and πούς pous, "foot") is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages.

Arthropod is the catch all for all creepy crawlies & creepy fliers... But Arachnid is for want of a better words sub speices...

Arthropods have 5 sub devisions

As an example Ants fall in to the same classification as Wasps ... Hymenoptera...but wasps fallinto a sub catagory of Hymenoptera...


Now back to Arachnids...''Greek word ἀράχνη (aráchnē), from the myth of the hubristic human weaver Arachne who was turned into a spider.Spiders are the largest order in the class, which also includes scorpions, ticks, mites, harvestmen, and solifuges.''

So yes its an Arachnid but which one ?

Confused ? You should try doing the feking exams...

Wicky It's deffinatly not a house spider as we know them but but apparently likes to live around humans thanks to we give them places to hide...Buildings, out buidings, piles of junk ect.ect.

As you say 100000 species. I'm more a fly man myself.....

Amaurobius similis

I do like a nice spider!
Owned a few over the years, Blondi She measured 12" when she stretched out and her abdomen was bigger than a large chicken egg.....she was a grumpy cow!!!

This was the most colourful I owned, colours were amazing after a moult!

Back to the spider in hand...

Well try 1000000 different speices than...The spiders have trouble keeping up...

Yeah I had to google the Latin name - I have enough random shite in my head, I don't need funny words like that too

The abdomen doesn't look very healthy - was it alive for the pic or had you squished it?
I'm done - there's a few I think I've narrowed it down to but they vary by sub species so much that unless they are from the same clutch, they can look miles apart.
