3mm Bathyphantes cf gracilis ballooning

This ubiquitous spider is common in grassland and undergrowth of all kinds, including heathland, woodlands and marshy habitats. The carapace is brown and the abdomen features black bars on a grey background although this coloration is variable and some specimens are wholly grey or black. It is a common aeronaut. Adults can be found at all times of the year, but mostly in the summer and autumn.
