European Garden Spider or Cross Orb-Weaver

These spiders can grow up to 13mm and can be found in hedgerows, woodland and gardens across Britain from June to October. They eat flying insects caught in their orb-shaped webs. They are sometimes called Ã¢â¬Ëcross orb-weaversÃ¢â¬â¢ due to the distinctive cross marking on their body. The spider is often brown but can also be bright orange or yellow. Egg sacs are laid on branches, garden fences and garden sheds in the autumn with spiderlings hatching in the spring.
