Wasp spider on Chudleigh Knighton heath

I recorded a wasp spider (Argiope brucennichi) on Chudleigh Knighton heath - the Devon Wildlife Trust reserve in August 2008.

This species is spreading in the UK probably as a result of climate change.

The current distribution from the National Biodiversity Network is here.
