Spider identification please - ***PICTURE!***

[TreacherousPissFlap]

I'm thinking black lace weaver as that's the closest description I can find. I am however distraught that she is being described as "common" and feel that she must be some sort of rarity.

We are in the UK so I figure we won't find TreacherousCat cocooned in a silky body bag and hoisted to the ceiling

The verdict from the Wildlife Trust people and the Facebook spider people, is she is in fact a black lace weaver.

They were all very complimentary

That’s a great result, OP!

Thanks for updating us - not a type I'd even heard of!

Brilliant result op
