Garden Spider

DateFriday, October 2, 2009 at 8:12AM

A European garden spider, Araneus diadematus (family Araneidae, order Araneae), recognizable by the white crucefix on its back (just visible between its elbows in the above photo).  This individual has been guarding my bedroom window since the last week of August.

Photos taken in Reading, UK, on 2009-09-05.
