spotted this next to my gate, not sure exactly what kind of spider he is, but he's very pretty.
he's actually spun his web on a weed that has yellow flowers, although you can't see them in this photo â€" isn't nature clever?!?
Possibly a pyramid orb weaver.

snap!
thanks redclanger ;D
My cousin would name her house spiders - I think there was a Spencer, Sidney....
Your spider, Norfolklass, I'd say is a Malcolm.
;D ;D ;D
And Redclanger's spider is a Martyn.
well unless they are androgenous or gay these beauties are more likely to be 'Mavis' and 'Martinique' (or Multiveg even ;D)
Actually, Redclanger's is a Martina (perhaps has had its web broken by an errand tennis ball).
Malcolmia?
Or, perhaps, in remembrance of flings, they adopted the name of their last beau!
