Hi,

I found this in my garden today. (Kent, England UK)

Not seen one like it before. It was approx 7/8cm including legs

It wasn’t in a great shape and legs were curled up tight but it did move a little once I put it in the soil.

I did wonder if it was a mouse spider? Or purse web spider? Or black lace weaver?

Any ideas?

Thanks

It most likely is a black lace weaver (Amaurobiidae) - https://www.uksafari.com/black_lace_weavers.htm
