This little garden spider came in on a colis plant that will be livening up my window sill this winter. I think that spider webs are lucky and if she avoids my cats, she might just make it to the spring with the rest of us.
The following link will take you to a really good news story about the rediscovery of the wolf spider that was thought extinct in the UK for years. It is also inspiring to see what dedicated amateur naturalists can discover by perseverance.
Good luck Wolfy!

Spiders are not my favourite beasties but I have been brought around to appreciate them more after seeing the videos of the colourful jumping spiders. I did not think 5cm. was particularly “huge” for a spider but I suppose they were not counting the legs. Amelia

I’m not keen on spiders but leave them be and avoid damaging webs if I can. That article was interesting. xx

They are not top of my cuddly list either but putting another species back on the UK list of life is worth raising a 😊 xx
