Lunchtime at the Wareham Forest office was enlivened by this fantastically camouflaged spider resting on a picnic table - the Nationally Rare (& decidedly under-recorded) Philodromus margaritatus, looking absolutely fantastic in its lichenesque livery @britishspiders.bsky.social

Ramalina #lichen, Possibly R.fastigiata {Dotted Ribbon Lichen}. The spider, idk; don't know much about Araneae. iNat says it's Philodromus, or Running Crab Spiders; ook leuk

One of the most incredible photos I have ever been sent, courtesy of Chloë James of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust Seagrass Restoration Team. Yep, that's Philodromus margaritatus...under seawater using...an air bubble to breathe and move about. I am utterly speechless!! @britishspiders.bsky.social
