Rediscovery of the White-Knuckled Wolf Spider
A spider not seen in Britain for nearly 40 years has been rediscovered on the Isle of Wight, marking one of the country’s greatest wildlife comebacks.
The tiny, orange-legged arachnid — Aulonia albimana, nicknamed the White-knuckled Wolf Spider — was found this autumn at the National Trust’s Newtown National Nature Reserve.
Its reappearance marks a major success for the National Trust’s conservation work at Newtown, part of Natural England’s Species Recovery Programme, which focuses on protecting some of England’s most endangered wildlife.
The species was last recorded in the UK back in 1985.
