Isn't she glorious! She has just set up home outside my door. She's a St Andrew's Cross spider. You will notice that she has a unique style of web-making. It looks like she could actually write words. So, I am naming her Charlotte!

St Andrew's Cross Spider

St Andrew's Cross Spiders are named for their bright web decorations - zig-zag ribbons of bluish-white silk that form a full or partial cross through the centre of the orb web.

It's nice to know we have a few non-toxic spiders! And pretty as well!
Those zig-zags she has spun actually reflect ultra-violet light. Perhaps to catch insects who are looking for that colour to find pollen.
