Probably more
wide-ranging in Nottinghamshire than the distribution map
would indicate. This is a spider of leaf litter and low
vegetation, the one photographed being beaten from the
lowest branches of a Lawson's Cypress growing among Pines
at Gibraltar Plantation near Carburton in June 2018. The
only other recent county records we are aware of, are
both from Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust reserves at
Misson Carr and Walkeringham (both Williams, H.). The red mark on the spider's abdomen, may
be indicative of recent parasitisation. |
