Field Notes

Description:

Spider relaxing in front of the full moon.

Diese Spinne wird oft mit der Spaltenkreuzspinne verwechselt:

http://wiki.spinnen-forum.de/index.php?title=Nuctenea_oder_Larinioides

Habitat:

Während N. umbratica eine gemeine Spinne ist und im gesamten Gebiet der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gefunden wird, handelt es sich bei Larinioides ixobolus um eine vorwiegend im Osten verbreitete Art. Dabei gibt Wiehle als Verbreitungsgebiet die Region östlich einer gedachten Linie Nürnberg – Berlin – Danzig an.

Because the Nuctenea umbratica (Spaltenkreuzspinne) is often confused with Larinioides ixobolus I wrote an email to "spinnen-forum.de" and they discussed about it and made the decision that its "Larinioides ixobolus"! (http://wiki.spinnen-forum.de/index.php?title=Nuctenea_oder_Larinioides)

udolfo - yes, i think you are absolutely right - it's the Spaltenkreuzspinne... Forget the Bridge Spider

@ Lars: Are you sure? I am not sure, which one it is, because I can´t find the typical "V"- sign of the bridge spider and I can´t find the cross of the garden spider,made out of white dots. I found a third possible spider: "Spaltenkreuzspinne (Nuctenea umbratica)".
