Steatoda nobilis <=

[Johan Verstraeten]

This species I found in my garden. Diepenbeek, Belgium, 23-04-2022.
It was sitting on Lavendula sp. that I planted earlier this month.
I see that Steatoda nobilis is not a native species for Belgium so maybe it came with the Lavendula sp.

Yes, this is correct.

The species was found several times in Belgium, but it current status seems unclear. If you find a population in your garden, this should be published. However, it is plausible that it came with the Lavendula though. It is often found in plant nurseries.

Ok, I'll keep you posted if I find more species.
