It is very rare I come across a male Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) in my garden, or anywhere else for that matter. I think it was attracted to the UV light of my moth trap and became mesmerised by it.
Staffordshire, England. August 2017.
A Rare One

You know your spiders so well Pete, I wouldn’t know how to tell a male from a female. Lovely shots 🙂

Thank you, Jude 🙂 And yet there is so much I don’t know about spiders, too 🙂 Still a learning curve and checking field guides, google and fb groups.
