Spiders - The Mothercare Spider

First seen on Sunday 3rd June 2018 at Croome

Mothercare Spider (Phylloneta sisyphia) is so called because of the way the female cares for its young, feeding them on regurgitated food, and sharing larger items as they grow up. They are quite tiny (3-4mm) as you can see with this on on a oxeye daisy flower.
