hehe those Golly-geen things are everywhere at the moment keep walking into thier webs at night when i let the dogs out.

Across the doors, across paths even attached to the car doors in the morning,

nothing worse than a web across your half asleep face in the morning :-)

I saw that spider's brother in the streets here yesterday. there I was thinking that northern Yurop was safe... and i come face to face witht his kind of alien...

Blank, I must be the 1st tall person up early in the morning in the area where i live... everytime i walk the dog in the morning I get those in my face as well. thought about wearng a helmet, there's a french saying: "Ridicule doesn't kill"

<-- HATES spiders with a passion.

What kind of spider is that? I had one at my back door just like that. It was about the size of a quarter (maybe a little bigger)

I hate spiders.

I had one appear in my slider last week.

My little girl named it 'Charlotte', made me take a solemn oath to protect her until she (the spider) finished having babies, then spent a full hour watching her make a (beautiful) perfect orb web in the doorway.

The things we do for little ones....

Ahhh, spiders and dragon flies. Mother Nature's equalizers. The only families of insects I like. The only ones which serve a very useful purpose. Keeping the true pests under control is a good thing.

so what DO dragonflies eat - must have been a good year coz the garden at home has been full of them.

That spide looks like our common old Garden spider - like Blank said they're everywhere !!

Dont forget hornets.

Sparks, yes it is. It just looked kind of beautiful and photogenic hanging there in the morning sun. Trying to google for a species name right now.

If it is outside and I see them first, no problemo.
If I walk into one, its time to get the bic lighter and aerosol can out.
