Walnut Orb-Weaver Spider (Nuctenea umbratica).
Last night, I noticed a walnut orb-weaver spider on the wall close to my front door. Even though I enjoy taking pictures of them, I'm not a fan of #spiders.

Near my home's front door, I noticed a non-native Noble False Widow spider, which is reputed to be the most venomous spider in Britain.
I'll make a mental note to never, ever tell my wife about it!

Little bit of soldierfly action in the garden. Female Chloromyia formosa. Probably the most common, and definitely not the best looking, but a soldierfly nonetheless. #gardensafari #diptera #stratiomyidae

Pisaura mirabilis, commonly known as the nursery web spider.
In my garden, there's a nursery web spider hiding among the lobelia leaves. Her young are situated on top of the plant in a web that resembles a tent.

Walnut Orb-weaver (Nuctenea umbratica).
Even though I'm not a big fan of #spiders, I'm sure to run into some when searching my garden for moths with a torch. The garden gate is home to this female walnut orb-weaver spider. It spends the day hidden in a crevice and comes out at night.
