A spider
usually found on Pine trees growing in heathland, but not
totally restricted to this habitat across parts of the
southern UK. Although most Nottinghamshire records have
come from the Budby South Forest area, Philodromus
collinus has also been recorded from Rainworth
Heath and from Juniper growing at The Patchills in Mansfield. As with all Philodromus, any abdominal
markings show variability within species, so care has to
be taken with identification and they cannot really be
done with any certainty from photographs. |
