That's no garden spider......

Agreed its not the normal garden spider that's for sure.

Looks like a well fed version of the cheeky sod that covered our window a few weeks back

No. He's a striker, but can play out wide too. Bags of pace.

I remember him playing upfront with Wardy, he looked pretty good back then.

Must be on his last legs now though

It looks just like a garden spider to me.

They're everywhere at the moment. They look big and scary but harmless. Set it on fire though, just in case.

Haha I sharted when I laughed at that! Doh...

Anyone know what the hell this is. I as moving a trailer on my drive and this spawn of satan decided to leave its new home. It was slightly bigger than a 50p.

Yup, definitely a garden spider. We've had the same one for weeks spinning webs just outside our back door. Even got so used to seeing his filigree masterpieces of a morning, I say hello to him each day. Harmless - and does a good job of eating other creepy crawlies and maintaining the ecosystem.

I've got a spider living in my wing mirror. Its a pain in the arse, keeps spinning its web between the door and the mirror. Even though I keep brushing the web away, sure enough next time I get in the car, he's spun another one and retreated back inside the mirror. Stubborn little tw@t.

Spiders play a very important role in houses, they do a hell of a lot of killing of flies, mites and all sorts of other nastys.

The only thing they ask for preforming this free service is a little help getting out the bath every now and then.

Got one in mine too, it's been there all summer so far and even now he's still spinning his webs every morning.

I call him Frank.

They're lovely.

Don't know about that. I've found them offish and, at times, downright rude.

You have to nod and say good morning or afternoon. They're fine after that.

He'll not be happy with that name. You should have called him Robert. He'd be well proud of that name.

 

[Whoislloydy]

standard garden spider isn't it?

 

[1066familyman]

It's just your common Orb Web garden spider. Sometimes called cross spiders because of that cross on their back.

They're everywhere in the garden this time of year. Perfectly harmless to us.

Worth posting this again and here seems is as good a place as anywhere else

I searched for "big spider" on the image tab of Google, in the thought that I might post a photo of one with a "witty" caption comparing the size of them to one the size of a 50p piece.

You'll note there's no such image appended - Sheesh, there's some big spiders out there. Kin huge, some of them.

There's a bird eating one in Oz that looks big enough to bring down an ostrich.

Yes, I've got about half a dozen in my front garden. The webs are strung between plants and my hedge. They're lovely.
