species surveys

Although identification of many spiders requires experience and examination of adults under a low power microscope, the Spider Recording Scheme is making a particular effort to encourage the recording of a few 'easily recognisable' spiders. YOU CAN HELP by submitting records for the spiders below!

We ask you to upload a picture to support your record, to help confirm your sighting. This means you will need to register and then be logged-on to do this. You can then manage your records when logged-on from the my stuff page or my records.

If the location is not identifiable by a full postcode and you don't know the map grid reference for a location you can find this using the locate page (zoom in or search for your location and the grid reference of the cursor is given at the bottom of the map).
