Been feeding this lady (?) a wasp a day for a while. Love this time of year. Who have you got sharing your garden?

No. The buggers are living in the rear view mirrors of my van. It’s a right PITA having to shift their webs every day. 👿

Not a garden, but living in my garage and gets fed occasionally 🙂

I walk through enough webs up my garden path each morning to now they’re there. They must hate me.

found these terrifying specimen the other day.
I think it’s the flat body that freaks me out most

That’s not nice Stoner, you can keep that one over your end of the hills!

Great photo Des, look at the eyes. 8)

Escorted a beauty of a house spider out of the flat last night, must have been 6-7cm from front to back, moved like the wind when I tried to get a tumbler over it.

Amazing creature but didn’t stop me squealing like a girl when it got halfway out of the glass before I had it trapped, amazing how you just don’t grow out of that primal fear… 😳

I haven’t taken any pictures but in the last 48 hours Mrs JAG has called me to remove between 8 and 12 spiders from various rooms of the house.

It seems to be that time of year; they are amazing critters 8)

Had to remove a house spider from my daughters ball pit yesterday, not an easy task.

One in a plastic box

I’ve a right couple of beasts in the garden!
When in the house I always catch and release using an old measuring jug under the sink. Once I caught two in the same jug and boy did they NOT like meeting each other!!

Want a video ?

This one scared the heck out of me as I was taking the garage apart, mostly because I’d never seen one like it before….

Swift Googling later, turns out its a woodlouse spider

I freed a bee from this one’s web-

Felt a bit bad taking a meal away but I’ve got a soft spot for bees.

Not so much as a garden spider as a spider commonly living in gardens,

no idea what it is but down under rule of probability says poisonous:

antigee – That’s bloody huge!

Old one…

Right off to see if I can locate the big bugger in my shed. Huntsman…..

no idea what it is but down under rule of probability says poisonous:

Looks like a Huntsman..

Ever tried humming to a garden spider? No, really somewhere around middle C makes them go nuts.

Doesn’t work with other spiders.

antigee, a wild guess would be a frog spider, they eat frogs. If it is,then they can have significant venom, depending on the type. All are bloody quick though.

could we get some names of what these things are along with the pictures?

bit colourful for a Huntsman – if it is I’ll keep an eye out for its mum and dad! just been to put the bins out! – big but only poisonous to other spiders

My 2 are a garden orb spider and a false widow..

Mine are Macrothele calpeiana, European funnel web spiders. Europe’s biggest spider and one of my favourite spiders.They hiss and everything
