This week a small team of BAS members searched for spiders at Wangford Warren in Suffolk (permission from @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social), a breckland site. We recorded several uncommon species, some typical of bare or sandy soils. Shown are Steatoda albomaculata, Thanatus striatus, Euophrys frontalis

@britishspiders.bsky.social Very happy to still be finding new spiders as we approach the end of the year: Gnaphosa leporina has been high on my wanted list, since Lawrence Bee found it locally during a survey in 2019. Thanatus striatus, is, I believe, a first for Buckinghamshire,

A short trip over the border to Suffolk. Others have better and more photos, but a few nice spiders seen.

Bei diesem hübschen Spinnenmännchen handelt es sich wohl um einen Sand-Herzfleckläufer (Thanatus arenarius). Er ist mir am Strand von Zingst begegnet.

Conservation project to protect 'lost' spider gets funding boost
The tiny diamond-backed spider was thought to be extinct before it was rediscovered in 2017.

Una araña se come a otra. La cazadora es una araña del género Thanatus (ominoso), la presa es un saltícido con mala suerte; normalmente son las arañas saltadoras las que se comen a otras arañas

It doesn't look as if Thanatus striatus has been recorded there before, Andy? If so, a particularly nice record!

Thank you! Inaturalist did suggest Thanatus, thank you for the confirmation! I’m not sure where they got that common name but that’s the one that they’re using primarily for the species entry. Maybe leftover.

Would anyone (UK) like to adopt a #spider? Friend works in a pet shop and found a Cricket Thief spider (Thanatus vulgaris) in a bug shipment.
Presumably thieving crickets.
Non-native so can't be released - but free pet for anyone who keeps spiders?

Yes, Wangford Warren in Suffolk - near RAF Lakenheath. Grass and sand, including areas of bare sand that got very warm in the sun. It's a lovely place but not open to the public. Also Steatoda albomaculata and other jumpers. I hadn't seen Asagena before. Seen Thanatus in several places, though.

March Vgen Raffle Submission!
The prompt this month was Wings. At first, I was going to go with Fairy Macaria and Thanatus, but then the idea for drawing something from the Melody Swan Lake AU from ages ago snuck up on me.

I've never come across that common name, but that's a Thanatus, yes. (Not a crab spider, though, and not even as closely related to them as was thought for a long time. I think the entire family Philodromidae once started out as a subfamily of Thomisidae, but they've moved quite a bit away since.)

Camped out at Big Larch Campground at Seeley Lake #Montana, which is free between (US) Labor Day & Memorial Day. This little spider (some species of Thanatus) popped by, & this red squirrel barked at me like I owed him money.😅 3/3

Around 20% of Britain's 680 spider species are Red Listed. Most are restricted to habitats that are rare and themselves under threat. For example, around 80% of lowland heaths have been lost over the last 200 years, bringing many species dependent on them close to extinction. #ExtinctionCrisis

#spider bondage, oh my!
Male spiders of the species Thanatus fabricii bite and tie up their female partners with silk before mating to avoid being eaten, researchers have found.

SNOW SPIDER - This fellow was out walking on melting snow. He found some grass & went down to the ground. From the long diamond shaped marking on his abdomen, I would say this is a Common Lance-backed Crab Spider (Thanatus formicinus). #nature #arachnid #lookoutforthelance
