Spiders by color
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Identifying spiders by color is a strategy that can be helpful for the exception to the characteristic dull earth colors of most spiders. Here are spiders grouped by their predominating colors:
There are over 40,000 spider species. Classified mostly by varying body parts, example being eye arrangement. Unless you plan on pulling out a magnescopic camera and sending a series of pictures to a spider expert, knowing what color it is gives you a VERY small chance of identifying a spider. There may be 4000 other similar species in the area that you would identify as the same thing. (Returm to Identifying spiders)
