Field Notes

Description:

This spider was very fast moving and I was lucky to get one (rather poor) photo with the old cellphone I had back in 2015. I am quite uncertain about the identification and would appreciate any suggestions.

Habitat:

Spotted in our terrace, around 10:20 a.m. It probably came in from the front garden.
