Field Notes

Habitat:

grassy meadow, grass blades are less than 1.5cm wide at their widest

Notes:

These types of spiders are making small chaotic threaded webs at the bases and tops of the grasses, this one caught a big prey item. The craneflies are very common perching mid-level in the grasses, especially in the evening.
