A new species for me Walckenaeria obtusa, I do not see any records for this in west sussex, an old record in east sussex from the late 60's

@BritishSpiders Not a new site, but think the last record was recorded by Dick Jones in 2000 so nice to get an upto date record. Yes its been recorded via the SRS module in Irecord, as i do with all my records 👍
A new County record 😁
Ive recently got into the microscope work as i wanted to record more spiders as im always out looking for them. But could never ID the Linys so i was blown away with this one.
Walckenaeria capito.

A write up of the 13 spiders I think I had new to jersey (inc. 6 new to the Channel Islands) plus loads more https://t.co/EzklOqaQkX @AndymarquisH@BritishSpiders@BerryTylan @chalkspring @cofnod
This little bliter gets me every time I find it in a mire! It's always a bit different to everything else and looks exciting! Those awesome, pointy papls don't lie though, thus is the rather common Gongylidiellum vivum. @BritishSpiders@cofnod@graemelyons @chalkspring
I'm running a spider ID workshop at Ashdown Forest and Old Lodge for field work on Friday. Sign up here https://t.co/0frXubglpP I recorded nearly 160 species last year. We could see Micrommata virescens, Raft Spider, Evarcha arcuata and maybe even a female Euophrys petrensis!
