This is the last one
It's around 4cm from toe to toe and around 1,5cm from the abdomen to head
>>
>>2106058
The first picture is the only one where I can sort of make out the eyes but even then it's hard. It's almost definitely a wolf, though.
>>
>>2106058
looks like a brown recluse
>>
>>2106071
the eyes are really small, my phone's macro can't handle it
but it has 2 big eyes on top, and 2 smaller eyes slightly more centered under those two big ones
>>
Wolf spider.
>>
>>2106078
Four smaller eyes, not two. Like this. Though the ones on the edges are smaller in some species and can be hard to see.

Like I said, they're hard to see. Look at the size difference here.

OP here, I don't think my spider is a Brown Recluse. It doesn't look nothing alike, the size,head shape, eyes layout, and leg span, nothing fits the description of that species.

(btw, i live in portugal in a remote area surrounded by eucalyptus, pine and oak trees, basically lotsa nature)

Probably some kind of wolf spider.

Since you added "the fuck", I assume it's exceptionally large? If it's very big, my guess would be Lycosa Tarantula(pic related).

Funny fact: Lycosa tarantula, while a wolf spider, is actually the original tarantula. What we know as tarantulas were originally named tarantulas because they looked like this wolf spider.
>>
>>2106381
I already measured it and posted that info before
>It's around 4cm from toe to toe and around 1,5cm from
It's not huge, but it's fairly big compared to other spiders around here
>>

Fishing spider
>>
>>2106393
By its name I'll assume it's a spider found near lakes, rivers. I don't have any rivers or lakes nearby. It's literally a forest (and a fairly dry one during summer)

Your spider is definitely a wolf spider, OP. The above posts have some good pics of it. Here's another one.

Also, nice bones pic.
>>
>>2106415
OP here, as you can tell, I know jack shit about spider. So i'm interested in knowing, how can you differentiate spider species from each other? Is it the body-shape and eyes layout?

If having those side eyes is a characteristic of wolf spiders, mine does not have those. So I'm still in doubt.

You summed it up pretty nicely there. I'd also say that the patterns on the spider and the environment you found it in are key points in determining the spider.

That's why I mentioned where I live/found it.

I have it for a few days now. Initially I kept in a small plastic box of ferrero rocher. It does not eat dead insects, as I tried to kill flies and throw it in the box, it would live it there showing no interest. So I started to catch flies, mosquitos and small moths alive and put it inside the box, sooner or later it will hunt down or jump on them. It also does not seem to rely heavily on spinning a web to catch insects, but that might be due to the poor conditions it was in.
Yesterday I improvised this bigger box (related pic) with sticks, soil, sand, small stones, leaves etc and a net to keep air flowing inside. (it still does not show interest in spinning a web giving these conditions, but I'll give it some time)
I will also assume by the size of the abdomen that it is a female.
>>
so then, is it a wolf spider or not?
>>
>>2106485
Like five separate fucking people have told you it is.
>>
>>2106490
I said it before a few times, i'm still in doubt because of those side eyes, which other anons have mentioned or post pics of wolf spiders. Mine does NOT have those side eyes.
And if that is a fundamental characteristic of wolf spider, then mine is not a wolf spider. No one did confirm or said anything about it so far.

>>2106393
Finally someone with common sense.

Brown recluses have a violin shape on their head and are mostly solid brown with long legs compared to their bodies.
>>
>find a little wolf spider in my basement
>poor thing is missing a leg
>go back upstairs for a little while
>it made its way upstairs and almost in the kitchen
>see cat go up to it
>sniffs it then walks away

based animals know when they're injured. If it was 8 legs Gracie would have fucked that spider up.

>>2106518
>thinks fishing spiders only live around lakes and rivers

anywho, just stopped in to say this:
>>2106393
>>
>>2106072
>>2107025

No I agree with the first anon, that's definitely a brown recluse
>>
it's a wolf spider from the alopecosa genus
the exact species is hard to tell

no, it's some Lycosa. The photo you posted is also a Lycosa and no Alopecosa. Alopecosa have a distinct cardiac mark which your spider is missing.
