Please can somebody tell me which spider this is. It lives on a large foot wide flat web in our garden, unfortunately this is best photo I can get because the bush it lives in is bordered by a pond and a fence  
Thanks, Nick |

I have better photo's, just need to download and pop on here. I cannot believe what I witnessed, I posted about a parasytic wasp on the forum. The wasp had caught a hoverfly and was on it's way back to the nest in a log and flew into this spiders web. The Wasp tried to escape, dropped the hoverfly, the spider came rushing out and killed the wasp... amazing! |

Well I searched the Gallery and found no results for Agelena labyrinthica
I am now really intrigued after my encounter. Can you tell me the common and latin name? If there are none already, I will upload it to the Gallery.
Thanks, Nick. |

I can see why it got that name from it's web which goes all over the place, things easily get lost in it and the spider makes a meal of them.
(Edit) No images in Gallery, uploaded pending administrator approval.
Thanks Action_Man
