Garden wildlife. Last night the Zoropsis spinimana on the outside of the shed was feeding on something - difficult to ID, though it did appear to be one of the Anyphaena numidas that are also out and about on the shed at the moment, and likely passing quite close to each other. #Britishspiders

Garden wildlife. A lovely Zoropsis spinimana on the shed last night. Possibly my favourite spider, and one I've seen fairly regularly here over the last few years. And a second one was inside the shed too - only underside views of that one, but they're quite distinctive! @britishspiders.bsky.social

A fairly substantial pale brown spider with quite distinctive darker markings. It's on a garden shed.A fairly substantial pale brown spider with darker markings. This is an underside view of a different spider to that in the previous photo, and it's inside the window of a garden shed.

This was a challenge @britishspiders.bsky.social
3 days running, this spider put a main thread on my garden swing cover, which I tried to move... disaster. So I put up a couple of my own string lines and YAY, she used that to secure her web, so now we can both happily sit on the swing again 😍
