The depth of colour is very variable on most spiders, and this is actually a surprisingly warm coloured one (I bet the person that came up with *that* name was looking ate one just like this..) l.sclopetarius are a similar shape and posture, but will have a clear pattern outlined in white, with noticeable pale ling along the edges of the cepthalothorax.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461922953389188911noreply@blogger.com
