Well done All Saints' Church, Chevington, Suffolk. It's great that, on the display board in the churchyard, a Marbled Orb-weaver gets a special mention. For those interested in their churchyard management project here is the link

A Daddy Long-legs Spider Pholcus phalangioides showing off its amazing predatorial skills by silk-wrapping the rear end of a Woodlouse Spider Dysdera crocata while keeping well clear of its formidable jaws. For more info on both species see our Factsheets 3 and 17 at

A spider for Halloween, but not a scary one. It's a rather attractive Gorse Orbweaver (Agalenatea redii) I found today near Mildenhall, Suffolk.

I only found two Steatoda albomaculata at Lackford Lakes yesterday (12 June) and their markings and colouration were quite different.

Zilla diodia is easy to find at present in the countryside of West Suffolk, or the part that I live in at least. Here is a selection of ones in the local hedgerows.

I couldn't find the spider I was looking for today

in Suffolk, but these were adequate compensation

As
@britishspiders.bsky.social
have pointed out, some spiders are still active in December. This male Alopecosa barbipes and female Drassodes (probably pubescens) were caught in pitfalls on Suffolk breckland in the past few days. (Both were released after being photographed).
