Plants and animals of Pointfield

An informal survey of the plant and animal life living in or visiting the grounds of Pointfield, Kelso since 2015   

Spiders 

Pachygnatha ?clercki

 

Notes

Spider with brown carapace with a darker median band and fainter diagonal bands. Globular abdomen with strongly contrasting black and cream patterning; legs pale. Chelicera large and pale. Carapace colour and patterning suggests P. clercki rather than P. degeeri but microscopic examination of genitalia is required to confidently separate these two species.

Habitat

Found in vegetable garden in October.
