Steatoda phalerata
Another spider found on Budby South Forest in late September 2009 and then more recently at Sherwood Forest CP in May 2011, Steatoda phalerata is locally distributed across the UK. This spider is found on the ground amongst low vegetation and often in the company of ants, which form most of the diet. There are just two other records from 1978 and 2002.
