Super impressive find, even more so considering it's size!

The finale of a great day's spidering on our members' w/e on the Dorset heaths, 'lamping' for noturnal species. Great technique though sadly no Alopecosa fabrilis Great Fox Spider. Plenty of other green spider eyes lighting up though!

It's a good time of year to be looking out for the distinctively-shaped Trashline Spider Cyclosa conica. It often embellishes its closely-woven orb web with a line (stabilimentum) of food remains or other debris ('trash'). Widespread, usually in shaded shrubs and trees, across Britain.

In parts of Eastern Europe, and particularly #Ukraine, #spider #ChristmasTree decorations remain popular, reflecting the many variants on the #Christmas Spider folk legend (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Christmas_Spider). If you have #arachnids on your tree, please do share them with us!
