this picture was taken whilst on holiday in fuerteventura.
the spider had taken up residence outside our apartment, much to my wifes annoyance (she's petrified of spiders). i watched everyday as it made silk food parcels out of it's prey. i am pretty sure that it is a wasp spider. it had a stripey back. wasp spiders can be found in the south of britain and like everything else seem to be creeping slowly northwards.
