New spider, same location; here at Lake Rim Park where I work. I hadn't seen one here since Aug. 2014. A skinny female with a small web about 4.5 feet off the ground between some vines and small trees on an abandoned roadbed in the park adjacent to a swampy area of woods next to our nature trail. She had a dewdrop spider in her web as well. No males. | ![](photos_records/2022/08/tnTrichonephila_clavipes1661213571_1.JPG) | Recorded by: Michael P. Morales Cumberland Co.

Comment: Possible first record for Cumberland County, North Carolina. Female. She was the only one we found in a swampy flood plain next to our creek in the park. Her web was about 6 feet above the ground between two tree trunks. We never found a male and haven't recorded the species in our area since. A scientist who studies the range expansion of this species was contacted about this particular specimen. |
