Field Notes

Description:

Maybe a type of Huntsman spider? (Although it’s definitely not brown.) It has not moved more than a few centimeters in the past 16 hours despite rain, then strong sun, and now wind and cold.

Notes:

Near forest below Mount Penteli, Greece.

Thank you Brian38. It looks like you’re correct; altho this spider seems somewhat flatter and more shield-shaped in the abdomen, nothing else looks as close as the walckaeri.

Looks like a Huntsman spider possibly Eusparassus walckenaeri.
