And thank you for ID Smile

This is Acantholycosa lignaria Smile This is a relict species from the glacial period. It is really a special spider for me becouse I was the first one who found it also in Hungary, in 2009. Smile

Jorge, You don't have this genus surely in Portugal Smile

Regards, Walter
