The Yellow-legged zipper is a kind of spider that does not make a web but hunts for food on the ground.
Yellow-legged zipper (Trachyzelotes pedestris) photographed on the grounds of the Szeged Zoo.
The yellow-legged zipper is quite common in Europe. I took this picture on the grounds of the Szeged Zoo between exhibits and had some biologist friends identify it. I really don’t know much about this spider but I thought it was an interesting critter to add to my blog.
