Well..a celebrity on site at least. The little fellow below is Misumena vatia, and we’ve been looking for it all day!
The BBC are hoping to film it for a special episode of Deadly 60 which will be looking at some of the UK’s most fearsome species.
Although not a rare species, Fancis Farr-Cox, our resident spider expert, assures me that it is rarely seen. This is partly due to the fact that it can change colour, making it a bit tricky to identify!
Its a seasonal breeder, so you only find adults at this time of year. Hopefully coming to a screen near you soon!
Wow. That is pretty impressive. I saw you on the One O’Clock news earlier. Keep up the good work guys…
