Spiders. It's all about the spiders.

Cornwall, UK 〓〓
That looks very weird, not something I recognise. Will have a closer look tomorrow.

Same thing happened to this little sub adult Zelotinae from Dartmoor last winter. I suspected it was Civizelotes civicus, so was rather disappointed that it didn't get to maturity. Still an interesting thing to witness though!

This is one that I'm hoping to see in the Bodmin Moor plantations. I had lots of them in Mynudd Du Forest when I stopped on my way up to Greynog a couple of years ago.

I'm still a bit stunned really. Two females in the sample too!

That's it, game over. How did I miss that!?!

Yes, Megalepthyphantes. Note that "Lemmy Kilmister handlebar moustache" Mark at the anterior of tge abdomen!

It's incredibly easy to find here, just vacuum any mossy tree trunk in a vaguely wooded area

Monochephalising, one might say

Was it deeper litter/thick moss?

I turned a few stone on Berry Head in the summer when I was last there. No Nothophantes, but Agyneta mollis was there, which is generally a limestone/chalk species. You never know!

Ah fab. I'll be down there in a couple of weeks and will keep my eyes out. Never seen them in town, but not at all surprised that they're there!

Whatever works!
