Good afternoon Pixie, and welcome to WAB 
So the spider is the object to right of the window in your avatar? If so, I'll make a guess at Araneus diadematus - the common Garden Spider in Latin, they can get quite big at this time of year. Not based on the picture though, unfortnately it's too small. You do get them around houses and in gardens, commonly though. We may be able to get futher if you can upload a bigger photo here...

Take care, Jason  |

Thank you. I have not added a link where I uploaded them on facebook. Yeah it was hard to get close to it. I thought it was a really fancy spider since it was so big!!!! How do they get so big??? Easting bugs ?
Maybe you can help about this one too...I noticed a lot of spiders coming out and making webs at the moment they are reddish and stippy they are around the size of a 5p piece.
I thought they came out in the summer. DO you know why they are so late out?
Thank you for your help...this site is amazing!!! |

Photos are always very helpful you know... or colour drawings uploaded  ( External links aren't allowed, so please upload to our Gallery via the link provided  )
Your second request may also be A. diadematus spiderlings - young. Or something else. The UK has some 600+ species! 
Oh, and amazing indeed. Feel free to stick around! |

For the benefit of subsequent readers, the images are here... Spider in Hove - Wild About Britain Pics. Well done on uploading them! It really helps with IDs.
I think I was right, the common Garden Spider.
Oh, and it's a pleasure
