flag The Fen Raft Spider, once thought extinct in the UK, is making a comeback thanks to RSPB conservation efforts.

flag The Fen Raft Spider, once thought extinct in the UK, is thriving due to RSPB conservation efforts, with up to 3,750 breeding females now found across 12 sites in Norfolk. flag The non-venomous, semi-aquatic spider, which can run across water and feeds on insects, tadpoles, and small fish, plays a key role in wetland ecosystems. flag Its recovery is linked to habitat restoration and protection of grazing marsh ditches, with sightings most common from June to September. flag Experts urge continued conservation to safeguard the species and other wetland wildlife.
