DistributionThe species is widespread in most of Britain. It is widespread in north-western and central Europe.
Habitat and ecology
This species is principally a woodland species and can probably most easily be found by beating conifers at the right time of year. However, it can be found in a range of other habitats including broad-leaved woods, scrub and hedgerows, on shrubs, heather or other low vegetation and in leaf litter. Adults are found from early to mid-summer with a peak in July, females occasionally persisting into the autumn.
Status
Common, but the spider may be rather locally distributed.
