Microlinyphia pusilla (Sundevall, 1830)
Recorded infrequently from the Sherwood Forest NNR. There is one historical record, but then a gap of over 70 years, before the next in 1978. There have been two more recent records, including this one we found at Sherwood Forest CP in April 2010. Microlinyphia pusilla is a relatively small species, which makes a sheet web in low vegetation.
