Golden Orb Spider

Golden Orb Spider
Today I was out with my local Landcare group, removing weeds in the nature reserve, when I almost walked face first into this spider, hanging in a substantial web. It is a female Golden Orb spider - the male is quite tiny in comparison.

Explored.

Great pic, George. What's the scale? It's smaller than Shelob, I assume ;)

I crossed paths with a line of processionary pine moth caterpillars on a walk in the Spanish mountains once. (Both they and I were on a walk!)
That was the end of the walk for me, anyway!.
The skin irritations and sheer pain of it all (and I am usually stoic!) led me to rush headlong back to the chemist's in the village (2 hours away) for any relief I could get. I was given some ointment, it didn't really work and I spent an uncomfortable bus journey back to Madrid and home. No sleep that night and I took myself to A&E in the morning. (Believe me, I was first in the queue!). They just laughed gaily and gave me the appropriate pills and cream and yes, I did return to normality in a few hours.
But believe me, you don't EVER want to cross paths with a line of processionary pine moth caterpillars on a jolly outing!
