Today we had a trip in the heat to Hitchin Lavender farm. It was brilliant. The bees were so numerous they created a humming backdrop.
This spider was magnificent. These photos are from Edmund a Nature table explorer ,my hands are showing scale.
This spider is from the Mediterranean and is now found in southern counties ( we were in Herts)
It is not poisonous it’s colours are for warning.
Pretty amazing.
