SPIDERS (Arachnida)

The class Arachnida include those animals with four pairs of legs, no antennae or wings and two body sections (fused together in some orders).
On Pleasley we have Orb Weavers (araneidae) which include Araneus Quadrates(Garden Cross Spider)which is found in long grass and on fences.
