Name that spider...

DBT85 · 3 Oct 2010 at 13:32

I found this little one sitting above our bedroom door last night, usually i just throw them outside but this one had a much larger abdomen (about 8mm diameter) than I've seen on a spider in the house before and just wondered if anyone knew what it was.

Garden spider

Looks like a Diadem spider.

Fenris · 3 Oct 2010 at 13:37

Looks like a common garden spider.

As above, most probably Araneus diadematus

Ordinary garden spider. There's about a million and one of them in our garden at the minute.

I like it when I see a spider about the house, just reminds me I haven't seen a fly indoors for a long, long time

Tonyator · 3 Oct 2010 at 19:17
