What an odd looking spider! Does it live on or around flowers that have a similar shape / colour scheme? I'm trying to work out if those spikes are camouflage or there to make it look even more intimidating than it already does...

Definately one of the advantages of living in the UK, we may have crap weather but we dont get ugly ass spiders up our trouser legs wouldn't fancy it climbing up my trouser leg
Even I would think twice about going anywhere near that thing
Nice shot Don but I think you should change your signature to read Don(the nutter)

Looks like the underside of a Christmas Spider. Were there big cream-coloured spots on the back?

Other names are christmas spider or Jewel spider, they live in shrubery and are said to be harmless to humans

Why do spiders always play hard to get and hang upside down and on there backs?
