there are at least 16 of these www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/European_garden_spider in my garden atm. I need to cut the grass but their webs and huge fat bellies are EVERYWHERE. Now I have long grass with webs all over the shop. It's a living nightmare to look at and I'm just waiting for them to die lol. And I will then have to move out by next may when the millions of these things hatch. :O

They make massive webs and just sit in the middle, waiting, always waiting, waiting for me to stray too far before they attack.

Most are between half and inch to an inch long.
But there's a big fat one above the front door that's twice the size of the others protecting an egg sac.
I quite like them, they're like little bouncers stopping flies getting too uppity.

Go pick up the spider and keep it on your hand.
Guarantee within a few minutes you'll lose your fear.
I lost my fear when I got bitten by one.

I would add the warning that if it looks like a giant hose spider best not to pick it up as they do bite apparently.
