Araniella opisthographa  |
||
| Probably a fairly common spider of trees and bushes, Araniella opisthographa is during the Spring and Summer throughout the Sherwood Forest NNR. There are several other similarly coloured species in the UK, of which one (Araniella curcurbitina) is found commonly in Nottinghamshire and is visually identical to this species. While both species might be classed as common, opisthographa seems to be the less common of the two. When checking mature females, curcurbitina out-numbered opisthographa by 5/1. | ||
