Default What type of spider is this?
I just found it hiding in a patio heater that hasnt been used for years...The abdomen is very flat, like a squashed raisin, and about 10mm long:

Orb spiders have similar shaped abdomens from some googling..

Nothing overly special, a Nokon D50 with sigma 18-50 lens, set to macro, and cropped from this. You get an idea of the size, the boards are about 90mm wide..:

That Nokon of yours takes a decent pic, Chip. I'll have to look out for the brand, as I'm after a new camera...

There are NO poisonous spiders in the UK, except in captivity.

Oh, OK, we're in pedant mode are we?

I'll revise my post then:

There are very, very, very few spiders in the UK with fangs long enough to bite a human and venom strong enough to worry a human, and even fewer people get bitten or suffer any ill efects if they do".

That do you??

Speaking of poisonous, I'm sure I read somewhere that the venom from a daddy long legs (I think) is extremely toxic, only they don't have anywhere near enough of it or fangs anywhere near big enough to cause any damage.

Although this thing sounds nasty enough!
