A few days ago Richard Wilson came up with the idea that arachnologists with vacuum samplers might like to vacuum their garden lawns for two minutes and compare results on the spiders they found. I did, and found:
Bathyphantes gracilis 1f
Diplocephalus latifrons 7m 1f
Erigone dentipalpis 5f
Erigonella hiemalis 4f
Microneta viaria 2f
Tenuiphantes tenuis 2f
Xysticus cristatus 1f
Not too bad for 2 minutes. The data will be collated and thus contribute to a larger study of garden faunas.
