It's a shame this thing is not native. I'd love to see the rare Hyptiotes paradoxus too.Graeme Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105938845237816643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712676654133721000.post-60767765849152191842011-02-28T22:10:28.337+00:002011-02-28T22:10:28.337+00:00Great find Graeme!

I was tipped off on the BugNation website a couple of years ago and went and collected some from my local garden centre and started my own colony in my office!! (Also purloined one of my Mother's unwanted 'False Widows' and she lived with me for a while......) Anyway the 'garden centre' spiders bred nicely - they have fab star-shaped egg cases. Unfortunately my house was too cold for them to overwinter.Sarah Pnoreply@blogger.com
