Three New Wolf Spiders with Danni Sherwood (New Species Podcast)


The island of Saint Helena can’t be described without the word special. It’s a small territory in the South Atlantic that is home to some of the most unique biodiversity in the world, including some extremely rare cloud forest spiders. An island full of spiders might not sound exciting for some, but to Danniella Sherwood it’s a dream! Listen in as Danni tells us all about the island and its history, the wolf spiders that find their home there, and the amazing community that supported and guided her work.

Danni Sherwood’s paper “Saint Helenian wolf spiders, with the description of two new genera and three new species (Araneae: Lycosidae)” is in volume 19 issue 5 of Arachnology.
