Surprising isn't it, not sure if they'll survive there - bet the wish they never got off that ship :P

Sorry but these SPIDER guys know their stuff!!!
And if they say that they have not yet made to the Orkneys? then they haven't!!!
These guys have only just recently made it to me, and I'm in the extreme South East of the country????
Trust me on this!!

No NG, they have made it to Orkney, or at least they've been recorded there (see map)
Previously they've been recorded as far as, well around the Scunthorpe area.
The last set of records (see map) has them in Orkney.

Well, I feel a bit silly now. After doing more research & listening to you guys. I thought i'd stumbled on a rare species lol. Anyway its the first time I've been n this site and I've gained a little more knowledge from my experience about the Steatoda species. Thank you. |

Sorry guys!!!
I was of the wrong opinion here that they had only just made it to the extreme south east recently! (wrong information here!!)
I had NO IDEA that they were as far north as the Orkneys!!!!
Blimey guys!!! You poor souls!!
