Angular Orb-weaver spider (Araneus angulatus)
This image, of a male, was taken on Corfu.
Males are smaller than the females, whose large webs could often be seen stretched across footpaths, usually high enough to pass under without restriction.
The two raised tubercles, from which the spider gets its name, can be seen towards the front of the abdomen.
The spider appears to be carrying a single mite, seen as an orange spot on its abdomen.
