Segestria senoculata
A very common spider, building a tube web on walls or on/under the bark of trees. The spider's retreat is usually under flaking or loose bark. Five or six thick strands of silk radiate outwards from the end of the silk tube, acting as trigger wires. This spider is fairly common around Sherwood Forest, with this adult being found on Budby South Forest in September 2009.
