Species text
The spider is widespread but locally distributed as far north as central Scotland. It is local or rare in much of the modern agricultural countryside. It is noted as rare in Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Essex (Harvey et al., 2002). The species usually occurs in open short vegetation in grasslands, meadows, open heaths and dunes, especially where the habitat is old and unimproved. It may be abundant on chalk grassland and stabilised dunes. References
