Spotted this Walnut Orb Weaver (Nuctenea umbratica) Spider just sitting on a house wall. It's a real beauty. This picture was taken in the UK (Birmingham to be exact) at night using an artificial light (phone torch).
I don't know where this spider is native to, but I've never seen one in person like this before. I'm not sure whether they carry venom, however, on Wikipedia it says, and I quote "As with all orbweavers any bite is of no consequence." So pretty sure its not particularly dangerous.
