Uloborus sp. Family Uloboridae
Uloboridae, the hackled orb weavers, is a family of non-venomous spiders. Their lack of venom glands is a secondarily evolved trait. Instead, they kill their prey by crushing with over 140 metres of thread.
Seen in my garden.

Thanks Leuba :)
Love the first photo - trying to spook something-off !! Nice to see a different-looking orb-weaver. Great spotting and pics.
Straight from Mars, without visa ;)
Strange looking spider. Good find.
