Photo of CLOSED: Unknown rather large spider.

So, I have to make a correction: the specimen to be identified was a female. The male is the one I introduce you here in the picture and it came back under my eyes leafing through my photo file of one of my close encounters with spiders in my garden.
A little different eh?!? In adulthood there is a strong sexual dimorphism. The male is slender with very long limbs; the female, on the other hand, has short legs and a more robust body.
Incidentally, Zoropsis spinimana is one of the largest spiders on the Italian territory.

Ciao, ciao and to the next!
