Family : Theridiidae
Genus : Achaearanea
Size : Female - 4mm / Male - 3mm
Spiders of the family, Theridiidae, weave quite large, three dimensional,
messy looking, tangled webs. Achaearanea are characterized by a high
abdomen. I usually find these spiders, hidden amongst leaf debris caught in
their web.

I found this Spider, in an old woodland, along the edge of Bevendean
Down, East Sussex. I bent down, to look under a log and noticed this Spider
hanging from my head. ID'd by Peter Harvey of the British Arachnological
Society and the Spider Recording Scheme, as an adult female A. simulans.
