Trochosa ruricola (De Geer, 1778)  |
||
| A common spider, often present in damp areas under stones. Trochosa ruricola is quite distinctive, large and stocky in appearance with a narrow light central band along part of the abdomen. We found several adults under stones in an area of Warsop Main Pit Top that often floods in wet weather and at nearby Warsop sand quarry in September 2012. The female is shown in the upper two photographs. | ||
