Quite stop off in the New Forest before heading to Bournemouth, glad i did, not the spider i was looking for, but super happy with this. Dipoena melanogaster Classied as rare and endangered.

Whaaaaaaat!? Another one! Whilst looking for Altella lucida at the CWT Penhale reserve, we spotted three "ants" running incredibly fast across some scree. Nope, not ants, Micaria albovittata! Another clifftop rarity being found new to one of the most worked cliffs here! @britishspiders.bsky.social
So not only did i find a new site for Centromerus serratus at the weekend
I was gob smacked to also pick up 7 yes 7! female Centromerus brevipalpus!! Good Sussex records!
What a day.

Friday afternoon on Yr Wyddfa yielded Pardosa trailli. Last record at this location was in 1919!! @britishspiders.bsky.social Rest of weekend wiped out by a lurgy 🤧
The mythical beast known as Trochosa spinipalpis from a local site (thanks @judywebb.bsky.social). After putting in hundreds of hours looking across southern England, I wasn’t disappointed! They really do look dark, almost earthy in the field.

What amazing weather this weekend, I hope everyone has filled it with excellent spiders! A highlight for me was seeing this massive Gnaphosa occidentalis with her invert graveyard - remnants of various beetle elytra, earwigs, other Gnaphosa and even a Dysdera. @britishspiders.bsky.social
