Tetragnatha nigrita (Lendl, 1886)  |
||
| Tetragnatha spiders are easily distinguished from other orb weavers by their leggy, elongated appearance and habit of stretching out on vegetation when at rest, or after being disturbed. Tetragnatha nigrita is one of the rarer species, largely being found near water. Also known to occur in Nottinghamshire at the Idle Valley NR near Retford, we found this spider to be numerous on vegetation growing in an often flooded area, on the former Warsop Main Pit site in June 2014. | ||
