Spider found

Further to my query about the orange-legged spider, step daughter #2 tells me we've seen a wood-louse spider and refers us to Woodlouse spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This makes sense since it was running around with hundreds of wood lice that were hiding under the sand tray. Thank you SD#2!

Orange legged spider

Does anyone know what sort of beastie this is? Isn't it weird! It's got a red thorax, orange legs and a huge white abdomen. It walked across our patio this morning, and none of us has seen a spider like it before, not in England, nor in Italy.

I'll put up the other photos of it on my flickr site.
