Huge spiders that spin webs as big as 10 inches wide are on the rise in the UK after almost becoming extinct not long ago.
Fen raft spiders are one of Britain's biggest spiders and females can grow as large as a human palm. Thankfully, you aren't likely to find any of these under your bed, but you may see them in your garden.
The RSPB refers to them as "strikingly beautiful creatures", however arachnophobes may disagree. The creatures live in ditches and pools, and eat small fish and larvae.
