First recorded in Britain in 1922 in East Sussex. Most records are from southern England.
I have seen this spider at 6 sites in Gosport (where I live), and elsewhere in Hampshire. I would like to find out more about how venomous this spider is. I believe that it is probably no more venomous than many other British spiders, i.e. harmful only to grasshoppers, butterflies, etc. Mike from Woodingdean on the South Downs emailed me (25-Sept-2006) saying that he had seen one outside his garden gate. Thanks Mike There are some great (big) pics of Argiope bruennichi in the Fauna Gallery |
