garden orb spider

The Garden Orb Weavers build large, strong, vertical orb webs. Generally, the spider constructs its web in the evenings and takes it down again at dawn. The spider rests head-down in the centre of the web, waiting for prey.

 

These little guys are pretty easy to find if the web hasn't been destroyed , just follow the main string of web back to one of the two attached points, usually i find them at the higher side and they will be hiding withing a couple of cm's the web.
