Green Meshweb Spider - further range expansion, 27 August 2024

While working on a house in the middle of Pulham St Mary a small green spider on a door frame caught my attention. Closer inspection confirmed what I thought - it was Nigma walckenaeri, Green Meshweb Spider. I have seen this rare species once before, in Earlham Cemetery but this record is from a new location and is further evidence that the species is expanding it's range. Usually they are on leaves under their web but to get one in full view was worth going back home for my camera!
