Tiso vagans. A common spider but new to me.
Back at Kenfig Burrows today with Christian Owen, searching for some of the reserve's rarest invertebrates for NRW. We managed to find 3 target species, including the false widow spider Steatoda albomaculata. We found two individuals — a male and female (in the photo). @britishspiders.bsky.social
I'm going to assume this is Pardosa saltans. I've looked at the Peter Harvey article on the website and it's a bit mixed, but I think unlikely to be lugubris in East Norfolk?
Don't come across many green spiders. This one ... from below ... is quite photogenic and I think the red spot indicates a cucumber orb web spider ... Araniella cucurbitina ... on hogweed and eating something black! @britishspiders.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social
Don't know if it's a BAS Atlas or LERC Wales issue, or me, but some of my previous records aren't showing up/ gone missing on the BAS ATLAS search @britishspiders.bsky.social @sewbrec.org.uk
It's Textrix time again.
Great trip with NRW & @naturambyth.bsky.social to look for rare fen inverts at Cors Geirch NNR. Idiocera sexguttata (Cranefly), Ground Beetle Chlaenius tristis (only UK site), Attulus caricis. @graemelyons.bsky.social @liamolds.bsky.social @dipteristsforum.bsky.social @britishspiders.bsky.social
Another Agyneta with the sticky-out epigyne, but this one could be mollis, but in fact, looks more like saxatilis, in a way. Except I can't find an image of saxatilis with the sticky-out epigyne. So, mollis or saxatilis? @britishspiders.bsky.social @cofnod.org.uk
The second of the talks following our AGM was given by Rosy Christopher @envirosyment.bsky.social of Newcastle University. Titled Friend, Foe or Freeloader, it considered the relationship between Flower Crab Spiders (Misumena vatia) and the flowers it sits on. Available at youtu.be/Gada2vNhF7w?...
The BAS held its AGM on Saturday, which was followed by talks on an arachnid theme. The first of these was by Brandon Collier of the University of Galway on the Urban Ecology of the Noble False Widow (Steatoda nobilis). It can be watched from our YouTube channel at youtu.be/FUqSYllcw9A?...
