During lunch on a walk in the hills near the Cat and Fiddle Inn, Cheshire, my 10-year old found this and asks for its identity. Size: a little under 1cm (including legs). Location: Ordnance Survey SJ 995724 - in boggy grassland about 400m asl. Time 13:00-ish. Date Sun 24th Nov 2019. Temperature 5 to 10 C. Weather: very overcast, occasionally cloud lowered to this level, thus air full of moisture. What we did with it .... let it go ! Spider handled only with gloves - it moved quite slowly and exhibited no aggressiveness. We didn't look for any others nearby. Is it a false widow ?
