Anyone know of any good visual identification websites for different species of spiders found in th uk? we had a marvellous one in our kitchen window for ages, named Martha (don't ask how we ascertained this) but now she's dead n' gawn (smallest grave i ever dug [and yes, i've dug a few]). I would gravely like to know her type.
If the spider was in a web outside your window, it would most likely be Araneus diadematus but if it was inside your house, the most likely candidate is Tegenaria gigantea
