They always seem to at the end of summer.
Probably to do with their lifecycles and such.

I think it was the real warm winter we had. It barely dropped below 0c. Probably didn't kill some off like it would otherwise or something.

There seems to be 10x more spiders than usual, they're taking over. My garden is literally nothing but spiders and their webs, they're taking over. On the plus side I totally got over my arachnophobia this year so it ain't a big deal. I'm

I think the massive slugs must have eaten the spiders around here.

I'm as arachnophobic as the next man but I was fascinated by it. It was only an inch wide, there's no scale to the photo.

Christ almighty, pretty soon these things will be claiming benefits and clogging up the daily commute.

It might be Enoplognatha ovata. They come in a huge variety of colours, and are common in the UK.

Oh. Looks like it's just a common garden spider (see top right photo): http://www.uksafari.com/cross.htm

How disappointing.
