Nicely done! I was curious about this species, and learned that it spins a tangled mesh-type web. Their parental care is also rather extreme since the babies eat their mother.
Nice stacks!

Excellent images, many thanks! I had no idea that this species even lived in the UK.

Thank you. They are pretty common, found this one whilst moving some paving slabs but have found several in woodpiles too.

Great stacks - especially the last. Love that clean look against the white. Smashing!
