Labyrinth, Come In!

Labyrinth Spider taken at Rye Meads Nature Reserve, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire.

 

I first mistakenly thought this was a Funnel Webb Spider due to the funnel-shaped web - however I'm pretty sure they're only native to Australia!

 

Not to be confused with Tube-Web Spiders who commonly live near Shipping Ports in the UK which can give a nasty bite I hear!

 

New Species for me - I'm hoping to find some larger Spiders and possibly bigger "Labyrinths" soon!
