I finally managed to get a picture of this spider last night. Previously, it had been upside-down whenever I wanted to take the picture. It is about 5-6mmm long in the body, and has a black underside. The web seems very fine, with no symmetry or real design. It is in amongst the leaves of a Trachelospermum jasminoides Any help with identification appreciated. ColinYour Forum
