Brigittea latens (Fabricius, 1775)
A rare spider in Nottinghamshire and one of several, very similar species which are difficult to identify and not really possible from photographs. There are modern records from the Idle Valley NR, when recorded by Howard Williams back in 1995 and from the site of the former Rufford Colliery near Rainworth, where the one below was found and photographed by Tim Sexton in 2020. This spider was previously known as Dictyna latens.
