british garden spider

postin random pix everywhere now cuz i'm bored

Thats a pretty good quality pic vawn,looks like you have taken a few.
What ever is common over there i am sure there will be a few folk interested to see them over here.

this time of year it's mainly the diadem spid (british equivillent of the european orb weaver) tiny spids not usually more than 5mm sometimes as big as 3cm known for making their huge orb webs, after the springs slings have gotten fat
ugh my pb's down the little critters are easily identified by the cross shaped pattern of whites on the abdomen, see what i can find a min..

i found a false widow the other day, must have come in with my live food

very good close up vawn.

ugly spider though

not a very good pic I'm finding it hard to control my centre of focus, it's the same spid in both pix showin her cross shape. you wanna see a pretty spid? try this, there's loadsa crap on it too but i dunno
