Glad to make this little spider a little less scary. I'm actually in the Florida Keys at the moment, and there are loads of these all over the place, along with their bigger friends the Golden Orb Web Spider - which is MUCH bigger, with ENORMOUSLY long legs and still freaks me out at times...

When I saw it on my pool porch, I was a bit "freaked out", but now not so much. Not only does this spider have a wow, unique look, it also does have a beautiful, intricate web like you mentioned (which makes me wonder how long it took for her to build this bugger--I'm on my porch a lot and didnt notice it until this morning).

But for those of us who cant get out to watch wildlife for ourselves it was great to have it on telly every night. And as for those who have said they'd much rather be out watching it for real so dont want to be stuck in watching it on telly surely the real thing is much better so they're not really missing it if they dont stay in are they ? I'd very much like the bbc to put it back the way it was. I agree whole heartedly for one thing it wasn’t advertised enough and i hav already missed at least 2 programmes.
