A purseweb spider (Atypus sp.) found in northern Switzerland. One of Europe's rarest spiders.

Oh, neat. I didn't know there were pursewebs in Europe at all.

Just the 3 Atypus species. They are also our only mygalomorphs.

Are these funnel webs? Looks like it’s mean.

No, they just look kind of similar, but are way smaller and harmless.
