Episinus angulatus (Blackwall, 1836) | ||
This first record from the Sherwood Forest NNR came in late June 2012, when this female Episinus angulatus was found by Carl Cornish and ourselves, whilst searching for Zora silvestris. This is a charcteristic spider, found amongst low vegetation where it constructs a 'H' shaped web. In all probability, this would be a difficult spider to search for with any degree of success, but is certainly a welcome addition to the NNR arachnida species list. | ||
