Distribution
Its nearest known relative is found in the Caribbean region, suggesting that A. milesae likely arrived in Britain from distant tropical or subtropical regions through international trade and travel.[2]
History
It was discovered by Tylan Berry during a "bioblitz" on the Penryn campus in Cornwall, England, home to the University of Exeter and the Falmouth University. It was confirmed as a new species and named by Russian arachnologist Dmitri Logunov of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.[2]
Description
The spider measures 3-4 mm in length and has distinctive furry tiger-type brown and cream markings.[2]
