Kay Riddell @spiderznbeetlez.bsky.social · 09/10/2026First time found in England for this tiny 1mm #spider Trogloneta granulum, one of the Mysmenidae. Found under mossy rocks in an old quarry in #Derbyshire @britishspiders.bsky.social #britishspiders#invertebrates#spiders#arachnids 3236
Kay Riddell @spiderznbeetlez.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Inspired by chat about scree #spiders at the recent BAS meeting I went poking around (turned some heavy rocks tbh😅) on my local lead mine spoil heap and found this! A tiny juvenile which looks suspiciously Rugathodes-like to me with its abdominal spots? @britishspiders.bsky.social @cofnod.org.uk 031
