Garden spider in my garden today. Scary looking but the bite is harmless to humans.

Laowa 90mm f2.8 macro at about 0.75:1.

Just move the web, hopefully without breaking it. I find that if you can move the anchor points to somewhere that you find acceptable, after a couple of days, the spider learns not to hang where your face will be, later. They are quite fascinating, aren't they. Sadly, they don't seem to survive for much more than a summer or two... and those horrid Indian Mynas find them to be quite tasty...

So do our own Mickey birds, Sue, the Australian Noisy Miner.
We lost our carefully preserved St Andrews cross spider to one of our resident Mickey birds. Big hole through the middle of the web was a real giveaway.

I think I have just discovered an exceedingly rare, if not unique spider.
I'm calling it Araneus diadematus 'cambrensis sevenlegio'.

Very nice! "Seek" agrees with you: Cross orbweaver (Araneus diadmatus).

I enjoyed a bit of a spectacle this evening with a couple of spiders sparring over a captured fly in my porch.

Let battle commence.

More scorpion than spider, but still an arachnid. Dicranopalpus ramosus - one of the UK's more common harvestman species.

Came in today and found this one resting on an old lampshade.

Tokina 100mm F2.8 Macro

This could be the same species, @rayvonn.
I had to hold the camera one handed (using a 10mm extension tube on the 12-32) and there was a bit of a breeze so I'm quite pleased to get something reasonably clear.

Yes I think so, great for photographing as they're of course harmless.
