New species - Wasp Spider

This startling spider has built an extraordinary web using a metal cage that was protecting an orchid from the rabbits as the main supports and featuring a vertical spiral pipe. The large spider (it's a female) sits in full view at the centre displaying its bright black and yellow colouring for all to see. These female Wasp spiders are apparently known to eat the males on ocassion starting during mating - I wasn't sure whether this was just an apochryphal story.
