Hello, I bought a box of brown crickets from a well known pet shop chain in the UK for my 1yr old Mexican Redknee Tarantula. And I found this spider in the box with the crickets. I'm not sure where the shop gets their crickets from and I can't find any matching spiders searching the Web. Can anyone help please? Thanks
Help identifying a spider please.
This is Thanatus vulgaris, a running crab spider (family Philodromidae) commonly known as the cricket thief - see http://www.uksafari.com/cricket_thief_spiders.htm
