Easy one for a change.

Golden Orb Weaver.

Very nice... catches a lot of bugs... leave it alone. Harmless to humans.
Nice gold web too.

It doesn't move that fast!

And they don't eat humans. They prefer more easily digestible foods.

Nice interesting spider for kids to look at too ... stays within the web and wraps its prey in silk.

They don't favour porridge. Their feet get stuck.

Keep them in the house if you can.

They won't bite at all, unless you treat them really badly.

What's scarier is when one walks over your face at night and you wake up in a sweat. And you tell your OH what happened and he thinks you're paranoid... until the following night one walks over his face too.
