Can anybody help me with the name of this spider? No, it's not Fred.



Thanks

If anyone is interested, I've been told that this is a Common Orb Weaver.

I thought so, but I'm no expert. We had another one here.

Good shot BTW- looks similar to the UK common orb weaver- Araneus diadematus.

Just as an aside most of the macro shooters here post in the "Other Cool Shots" section.

Thanks, I didn't notice that under cool shots.

Its def an orb. From my experience..any orb that cant be identified is called a common orb. I see them all the time in books & on the net with the name common orb.
