	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: European garden spider
		The European garden spider (Araneus diadematus, cross spider) is a very common and well-known orb-weaver spider in Western Europe.
		When treating a spider bite, a doctor rarely, if ever, sees the spider itself and when he or she sees a lesion that is typical of this spider's bite, the obvious conclusion is a brown recluse caused it.
		Spider Woman, being a spinner, is represented by a tiny hole found in all traditional Navaho blankets that indicates the spot where she can escape.

		All spiders possess spinning glands and make silk, they use it for a safety dragline, to fly, for making a highly durable cocoon for their eggs, to line their homes, to trap their prey and to immobilise their victims.
		Hillyard says "A typical strand of garden spider silk has a diametre of about 0.003 mm (0.00012 in) in diametre, compare this with silkworm silk which is 0.03 mm in diametre" or ten times as thick.
		Spiders that possess a cribellum are called 'Cribellate', as compared with the remaining spiders which are sometimes referred to as 'Ecribellate'.

	European Garden Spider
		The Garden or Orb Spider is the one which spins the large vertical web often highlighted by mists or morning dew.
		The spider waits in the centre or at the edge of the web until the vibration of the ensnared prey is picked up by sensors in its front pair of legs; it dashes to the prey and quickly wraps it in silk.
		Unable to comsume its food directly, the spider injects digestive juices into the immobilised creature via its mouth parts and sucks out the resulting liquid, leaving a crumpled mass of undigested pieces still wrapped in silk.
