Need an ID for a Spider Please:
Can anyone help with the ID of the spider (the same) spider in the photos below please ?? At first I thought it was going to be the Strawberry Spider (Araneus alsine) but having looked at the pictures I am now convinced it is not. Any help would be very much appreciated. Found in Woolton, Liverpool (SJ43308612), in the lid of a green-waste bin (with egg sac) today (20th October 2014).
Could it really be merely a colour form of the Garden-Cross Spider (Araneus diadematus) ?? The spotting seems wrong to me and I am not convinced.
Cheers and thanks.
Steve
