Not sure what type it is, anyone know ?
all types should be squashed.
Couldn't agree more. Nice photo but I hope you killed him after you took it.
No need, someone pipped me to the postSpiderus Commonum Gardenium. :bonk:
Seriously thought, Kate will no doubt know all about it
Could do with her popping along...
Absolutely stunning species. They're extremely abundant at the moment and very photogenic! For anyone who's interested - go and hunt one out first thing in the morning and watch it constructing its web. It's quite fascinating If people can get past the "ewww" factor and actually observe these spiders going around their daily business, I'm sure they'll find them pretty interesting!Araneus diadematus, common name is indeed Garden Spider.

They're not going to hurl themselves from their web and eat your face They probably don't even know you're there, and are much more interested in juicy flies. Just stand and watch one going about its daily businessBut I'm scared of them

What's the best time / location / weather to catch one? What do I look out for?
