Plants and animals of Pointfield

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.

Found in vegetable garden in October.
