Hi
Seen at Thursley Common this weekend.
I know that the Fen Raft Spider and Raft Spider cannot be reliably seperated from photos, but I wondered if anyone knows which of the 2 species is present at this site ?
Several people we asked did not know and apparently one of the Wardens wasn't too sure either.
Many thanks.
