In that case, it would be helpful to update the info page for U. glomosus. Otherwise, amateurs like myself will continue to be mislead...As an editor, do you have the authority to correct the info page?

asking me to do. Uloborus glomosus is the only species of Uloborus established in Canada. It was clarified in the description however that this one was found inside a green house and may not even be native to North America (the climate inside the green house is different than Canada's so it may support species that otherwise would not do well outside, if she was finding them outside that would be another matter worth looking into). It was likely accidentally shipped to the greenhouse on a plant from parts unknown.

My bad, I didn't read the description. Really my bad... I thought you meant adventive as in the broader definition.

Yes, I doubt it just came into the greenhouse from the cold (snowy and icy here now). But there's the potential that it may end up as a member of the household fauna in Edmonton, as are several species of spider that one finds in basements but not outside, so I'm glad to have an i.d.

Is the only species of Uloborus in Canada. And btw, you can click on Alberta to get images, just like any other state or province. Just click on the square data point in the table or the place name to the left of the table. How else would you access data?

Hi Benjamin:

Thanks for encouraging me to persevere with the black date-boxes. I think I had the map window open before I signed in to upload the images, and so the items were not responding to clicking.

Cheers,
