| | | Unidentified BrownRed Spider
Hello, my colleague discovered this Spider near where we work, by a River, she was sunning herself! Looks Orbish, but hoping someone here can put us out of our misery! I say she because of her size and the fact she looked pregnant! Many Thanks in advance!  |

She looks like an Araneus quadratus - garden orb spider

hi welcome to WAB it looks likes a garden spider (Araneus diadematus)
the colouration of the abdomen is variable. It can be anything from dark chocolate brown, through bright orange, to yellow. They're most frequently seen in September and October, when they reach adult size.
The females are frequently found upside-down in the centre of their circular webs, which they construct about a metre off the ground, in trees and hedges.
