Hypsosinga albovittata
A small but very distinctive spider, Hypsosinga albovittata builds a small orb web low to the ground amongst vegetation, typically in areas of lowland heath. H. albovittata is rather uncommon across the UK, but an easy to miss species. We came across this female via the seep net on Budby South Forest in June 2011, which was the first Sherwood NNR record since two records in the 1970's by the British Arachnological Society.
