Larinioides
sericatus (Clerck, 1757)  |
| A large orb
weaving species which is scarce across the UK. It is
often common where it occurs, as was the case when we
found well over 100 together on an outflow at Shirebrook
Pit Wood in August 2012. Larinioides sericatus (L.
sclopetarius) is known from three other sites in
Nottinghamshire and is usually found on man made
structures like bridges, but always against water,
although it is abundant on the windows and walls outside
the main entrance to King's Mill Hospital at
Sutton-in-Ashfield. |
