Macro Monday - Garden Spider




I found this huge ugly beauty building her web in the garden between the fence and the trampoline.

She is a Common Garden or Cross Spider (Araneus diadematus) and can be found throughout Europe during the months of July and October.

    Nice spider - autumn is our best time for them - so it makes sense that you found this one!

      Thank you, they seem to like my garden. I just wish they wouln't build their webs where I might be walking.

      Spiders give me the heebie jeebies, but I can see the beauty in their markings and the way they build their wbes.
