I heard on a FB group about an app being used to successfully identify a spider from a photograph. The app is called Opsidentify and is free.
I've loaded it on my phone and tested it on a photograph I took a couple of weeks ago while staying at the Totnes CMC site. This is the photo:
I thought it would struggle as there is ivy growing around it but no, after a couple of seconds it suggested it was 97% confident it was Hemlock Water-dropwort, which indeed it is as there was a warning notice nearby with images of this poisonous plant.
Very impressive! I'm using Android but I expect there is an Apple version.
