Trash-Line Spider - Cyclosa conica

    Family - Araneidae
    Genus - Cyclosa
    Thanks to Gary Bradley of UKSafari.com for identifying this attractive
    little Spider for me.
    One species in the UK. They fix food waste to a thick line of silk that
    runs through their web. Probably acts as a disguise as they sit in the
    web centre with their legs drawn up to cover their Carapace.
    Very distinctive conical abdomen.

    it didn't put her off her lunch.
