Hello,
I have uploaded images of two arachnids from Ashlcyst Forest in Devon that I have problems with and would like to ask if anyone is able to help with them.
Regards,
Andrew. |

Arachnid One :
Could this one possibly be Metellina segmentata?     |

The second one is Linyphia triangularis. The first may very well be M. segmentata, you can't be 100% sure that it's not M. mengei.

Andrew. The second spider does seem rather pale compared with the L. triangularis that I regularly find. But there is no doubting that clear 'tuning fork' mark on the carapace. |

Thanks Frits and Geoff, I did note the forked feature and struggled to find a match. Clearly too tired today.
I shall place the first one in a solution to preserve it and check the two options when I am fresher.
Regards,
Andrew. | | |
