Wondered if anybody can help - saw this spider at the weekend - not very good pic as taken on mobile. It was just over an inch long. Found in West Sussex. Many thanks

Hi Mark, and welcome to WAB
I'm sorry mate, but the pic is not very good, I doubt if any of our spider guys would attempt it, ID of spiders is quite a complicated thing, whether they have 6 eyes or 8 eyes , web spinners or wolf spiders that hunt their prey,
I have put some good pics up for ID with shots from the front , underside , above and from the side too, and only got it to the genus but not the species ,
Don't stop trying though, keep posting your Pics and asking questions, you will find yourself wanting to improve , and beleive me on this site with the help of the other guys and girls, you certainly will,
All the best,

It seems to have a similar shape to a Nursery web spider ... nursery web spider - Google Image Search |

Many thanks for reply - fully understand that it is not the best photo, but as my wife was running in the opposite direction at the time I didn't have much time to get a good pic !!!!
Appreciate the comments.

Thanks for reply - it does look a bit like a nursery web spider but I didn't think they grew very big. This one had an abdomen that was about 25mm long.

I think they reach around 20mms in length, without the legs of course.
And i dont think there are too many UK spiders that go over 20mms ... | | |
