Lessertia dentichelis is a spider species found in Europe, the Canary Islands, Madeira, Canada and New Zealand. The species is notably found in Lithuania. [1]

There is also a notable population in Kungsträdgården metro station, in Stockholm, the only location in Sweden where the species can be found. While it is unknown exactly how the species arrived, it has been suggested the spider arrived unknown through transportation from elsewhere in Europe, or that the species existed in the archways of old buildings before the subway was built.

During the Great Northern War (1700–1721), many towns and areas around the Baltic Sea and East-Central Europe had a severe outbreak of the plague with a peak from 1708 to 1712. This epidemic was probably part of a pandemic affecting an area from Central Asia to the Mediterranean. Most probably via Constantinople, it spread to Pińczów in southern Poland, where it was first recorded in a Swedish military hospital in 1702. The plague then followed trade, travel and army routes, reached the Baltic coast at Prussia in 1709, affected areas all around the Baltic Sea by 1711 and reached Hamburg by 1712. Therefore, the course of the war and the course of the plague mutually affected each other: while soldiers and refugees were often agents of the plague, the death toll in the military as well as the depopulation of towns and rural areas sometimes severely impacted the ability to resist enemy forces or to supply troops.
