Aren't arachnids wonderful?
I took this photo a few weeks ago, its on my facebook but I thought I'd share it with the rest of you.
This is a Golden Orb Weaver and his little buddy, He made a web over my bins so I took it down, as I moved to take a picture he shot that golden silk at me, was awesome, you can see it coming out of him if you zoom in.
The problem with these buggers is they are everywhere and by British standards 'Fooking massive'. Rumour has it they cause more deaths than any other spider because the huuuge webs they weave (can be 2metres across)are generally across footpaths or between trees and posts and people walk thru the web then have heart attacks looking for the great big spider thats somewhere on them. Maybe an Urban Legend, may not but they sure are pretty and freaky looking.

I think he looks pretty cool, although if he was to jump out on me (with a knife) while I was walking down the street, then I think you would witness that 'brown adrenalin' that sometimes appears when you are scared.
