Happy days

[Mark Harrison]

Looked into the cricket tub this morning to begin the feeding regime to find not one cricket but only a spider....not sure on sp. but have an idea and have been told Thanatus sp. - part of the Family Philodromidae. The spider in question is small so not easy to get a picture, but i will when it grows to give better idea of identification. Its times like this that make keeping T's worthwile

Most likely Thanatus vulgaris

i quite often find these in my cricket tubs, particularly one si bought from the bts show, maybe it has something to do with point of origin. i was lucky enough to find one with an adult spider and a sack in the tub, i kept it in a tank with heat and humidity and they lived for quite a while, they are all dead now but that was a couple of years ago

I love finding spiders in cricket boxes, here's a T. vulgaris I found. I still have him ;o)
