In a word - maybe ! :-D I was already chasing spiders on the web (where else would you find them :-D ) when you put up the half spider picture but I only found it when I used a visual search on RIS!! :)

The empty shell made me think of something Eastern European or German, so it didn't take long to find it when looking for a 'German Spider' :)
