Over the last 3 or 4 weeks the garden has been taken over by spiders! They are everywhere, even one building a web across the back door leading to a sticky face everytime I go out. The most common variety seems to be the Garden cross spider (Araneus diadematus).
Yahoo! News had a headline article today explaining that the conditions for spiders were excellent this year.

The article made mention of an organisation called Bug Life, their website has lots of interesting information about insects, spiders, etc including links to sites with good specimin pictures;
