Hi Betty

 Thanks for the faves and comments

The green spider is Micrommata ligurina, yes it is a species of huntsman spider they are such a pretty shade of green, the first time I saw one I was rely surprised! The wolf spider is, Lycosa hispanica it was known as Lycosa tarantula. She was really amazing the females can reach 4 cm in body length excluding the legs. I was surprised to fined her out in the day as they are most active at night, There are a lot of spider hunting wasps about some specilise in wolf spiders! ( davidveevers.deviantart.com/ar…)

Both spider are quite commen here, though this year I have mainly been taking pics of jumping spiders and ant mimicing spiders, they are so cool. I hope to put them up on DA soon but have very limited intertnet accses at the moment.

You have many lovely pictures in your gallerys keep up the great work!

You are most welcome and thank you for your kind words
And you are such a lucky one for having all these wonderful spiders over there.
I wish we had awesome spiders like this here, but sadly the biggest one is the Dolomedes Fimbriatus
and Tegenaria atrica. Sure they are wonderful and all, but i wish we had huntsman spiders and even
some Tarantulas over here as well...
