Watch where you walk!
As I was walking through our local nature reserve, I almost walked into this Golden Orb-Weaver spider ( Nephila plumipes). They're essentially harmless but quite large and unfortunately their large webs (fences?) are usually strung between trees near face level. Interestingly, this almost certainly is a female: they eat the males and it is rare to find one larger than about 5mm. If you view large, you'll see that she also has hairy legs.
There's a fence in the background too. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.
