Down the microscope, in 70% alcohol. Viewing them dry down a microscope makes your life very difficult.

Oh and here's the Just Giving page for my year-long fund raising for Sussex Wildlife Trust www.justgiving.com/page/graeme-...

2/2 I have 1,002 records at least! It's basically a map of where I have been.

2/2 I have 48 records between April and August, all on the South Downs, especially on arable land there where it is often common in flower-rich arable margins.

2/2 I have just 8 records over a 14 year period. All my Sussex records are from the Weald, mostly in the west. Not had it this year.

2/2 I have just 4 records, not seen it since 2014. I have seen it at Burton Pond and Old Lodge in Sussex, both sites I have surveyed since (and more frequently) but have not seen it in over a decade. Is it declining in the south east perhaps. I miss it!

2/2 I have just three records, all from the New Forest or very near to the forest. I have not seen this in Sussex.

2/2 I have 811 records. Basically, this is a map of where I have recorded.

2/2 I have just 66 records. Commonest on heaths and woods. I never find lots and there are more spiders classed Nationally Scarce that I find far more frequently than this in the south east. It's widespread nationally though (those two records on the coastal plain are a glitch on the map).

Alas, the polygons are both in perfect alignment, matched node to node.
