Unknown green spider This little nocturnal spider has the experts scratching their heads at the moment and unable to even put it into a genus.<br /> During the day it lives in a retreat made from leaves curled and woven together with silk, at night it sits on an orb web, awaiting its prey. Currently there are two of these in the garden, both with differing markings. Hopefully one day I shall find out what it is!

    I'm trying to visualize how these experts feel. Confident in their expertise, hanging out with each other, and here comes Claire with a series of which they can't identify most :) Must make them feel uncomfortable. Posted 10 years ago

      Probably! I think I mentioned before that little research on spiders has been done in this area, maybe its time for a field trip! its actually quite frustrating for me, having all these lovely little spiders and not even being able to put them into a genus! Posted 10 years ago

        I understand, I see you're putting a lot of effort into it though! Posted 10 years ago
