The stuff of nightmares for some, I find this photograph beautiful. You can see close up the amazing architectural structure of the spider, and I especially like the ball joints in the legs. This extremely common spider can reach a body size of 16mm or more. The colouring varies from dark brown to oranges, but there is always a pale cross-shaped mark on the abdomen. It spins the traditional circular web and is usually seen sat in the centre awaiting prey. The eight eyes are arranged as a central group of four, with two pairs further round each side of the head.
