| Hi Günther These have not been known to occur in Lower and Upper Austria, but I've found them in the near of Krems. If you want to find them you have to look at very dry areas (same where you can find Lacerta viridis) but it's hard to find them if you are not used to search small spiders which life in the earth  | |

| HI!
Gorgeous spiders! I've observed some in southern Switzerland, Ticino, effectively in dry areas. Cool pictures!
