Nice pictures! Good ole' Araneus diadematus-believe it or not, we have this species here in the US, too. That girl is sure wrapping up that Assassin Bug!

They live in colonies, and I've actually seen several females using what can only be described as "pack' behavior to take down really large insects, including a big Chinese Mantis. Some tarantulas in the genus Pamphoboteus will also do this, and have actually been documented ganging up on and killing half-grown chickens, earning them the local nickname of "Chicken Spiders"! I've seen my own tarantulas pick up an empty water dish in their fangs and strut around with it until they got my attention-and got the water dish re-filled-so there seems to be a bit more to the arachnid brain that most people previously thought!
