So it’s a week and a half on. The new moth trap has been active a couple of nights, and I have been reviewing a number of species found over the last few weeks.

I take it the spiders were gen det.. 2/3 of those listed have very close, and not uncommon, dopplegangers.
ReplyDeleteYes. Which in particular?
DeleteI was thinking that spider records are in short supply and it would be *great* to generate some for the Spider Recording Scheme out of the challenge, and I was curious as to whether these species were reasonable assumptions (fine for challenge or personal list) or determined by genitalia (suitable for the scheme).
ReplyDeletePardosa amentata (various)
Enoplagnatha ovata s.s.(latimana)
Araniella cucurbitina s.s.(opisthographa)
Tetragnatha extensa (montana)
On the other hand, I'm a country mile behind updating my own paltry list, so feel free to tell me to **** off ;)
Hi Matt
ReplyDeleteI did wonder where you were coming from, but your comment makes perfect sense. I'm afraid that I'm not at the level of confirming ID by dissection so I guess that my records are not of sufficient quality for the recording scheme, even though it would be great to be able to contribute.
