Red-bellied Jumping Spider found in Hereford

Philaeus chrysops is a charismatic spider found from Portugal over to Korea in its native range. So it was a surprise to find a male mooching on a tomato plant in a Hereford garden. It is an accidental import with houseplants and luggage but a lovely thing nonetheless!
