Any one know what type of spider this is?
thanks
Definitely of the Orb Spider family, we have a few similar, and I've ID'd those as garden cross, but I could be wrong.
The problem with Google (and probably Bing and many others as well) is money shouts the loudest with searches, and their trending searches are either a bad joke, or a very sad sign of the times....
Any web related searches I undertake are always taken with a big pinch of salt, I use books first, then fine tune as required on the web. Also, you get those who innocently mistakenly ID something, and a search can bring it up. Sometime back I'd mistakenly ID'd a bird on here, and that came up in a search. I will confess, I did fine tune my Google search, but not by much because I wanted to prove to myself how accurate these searches can be.
