Nuctenea umbratica, walnut orb weaver. Very common but usually only comes out into its web at night, and so people tend not to see it.

I tend to see them whilst out moth trappping in Norfolk. One of the storage units behind the static caravan has at least two of them under the lid, impressive spiders i have always thought.

Is this a subadult Larinoides? Found in grassland.

That's Neoscona adianta. Smart looking spiders.

I know the second one is garden Spider, Araneus diadematus...the first might be a Pardosa sp but Salticus will be able to tell you more

Araneus would have been my suggestion as well Jen.

Yes, Araneus diadematus and Pardosa sp. I can't take the wolf spider any further than that.

Thank you Dave .
Salticus , is the wolf spider the first photo ? Any ideas for the 4th photo? that seems to be the clearest in the web

Post by salticus on Sept 11, 2018 2:23:43 GMT
The first two are wolf spiders, almost certainly Pardosa sp. Then there are three Araneus diadematus, and the last one probably is too but it's hard to tell

I'm sure by now i'm repeating these spiders .. this is clinging to the wall beside my front door i wonder if that one leg is prying for something in the cracks of the pebble finish I went to look for any moths which might be there as something keeps activating the security light

Jen, it's a lace web weaver, Amaurobius, most likely A. similis. It's an adult male and so is probably searching for a female. The bits of silk I can see in the photo could well be an Amaurobius web
