After downloading some of last years photos finally from my camera, amd this years so far, it seems there have been quite a few spiders. So I put them together to show how many different spiders you can get in a small garden.

There have been a few more coming out in the last few weeks, occasionally I spot them! Small but very cute.

Spider season is here and today added two more to the few I have seen in the last few weeks. We have a resident noble false widow in the bathroom who keeps watch from the corner at the moment, which is nice. Sort of.
And I opened the curtain to this large specimen this morning. I think its going to be a spider year 🕷

I have been trying to work out what all the little jumping spiders are. I knew there were lots of different ones, I just hadn’t realised how many I had seen. Once I started looking closely at my pictures, I started to notice quite big difference.
In Spain they were very friendly little spiders. In the UK, so not much and they are, well, jumpy. I figured the heat out there slows everything down, wildlife included. But I have still captured a number recently, they don’t stop for long if at all, so only a few UK ones included.
Some of the names may be off, but I think they’re mostly correct.
I just used to think there was one type of jumping spider, the little black and white one I called them as a kid. Now I know better!

This is an updated post as since doing the original one a few of weeks ago, I found three more!
Amazing how many different spiders there have been just in my small garden. I have listed all the ones from the last two years and hopefully will get more this year. And because I have a number of pics for each, I think a post showcasing each of them will soon come as well 🙂

The variety of these little guys is great, they come in all sorts of colours and between the UK and Spain I have gathered quite a few pics.

There haven’t been many of late since the cold weather moved in, but in the summer we had lots of different spiders. Here are a few I managed to capture, they don’t hang around!
