Scientific profile

Philodromus aureolus belongs to the family Philodromidae. It is recorded as present in Great Britain, though its precise status, habitat preferences and life history remain to be fully documented. Like other Philodromus species, it is a free-living hunter that does not build a capture web; it actively pursues prey on vegetation or the ground. The German national red‑list assessment places it in category “*” (unclassified).
