Lovely shots. Your spider is one of the Metepeira species, perhaps Metepeira labyrinthea, rather than Larinioides cornutus

First recorded in UK in 2020, so unlikely to be in anything but the most recent keys

It's a spider (Thomisus onustus) – gets my vote every time

Your male looks mature to me - the palps are quite discreet in this genus. Look for a tibial apophysis - it's not present in immatures

Mystery Linyphiidae found under a plant pot in a UK harden centre. 2-2-2-2 tibial spine count, 1.5mm body length
@britishspiders.bsky.social @cofnod.org.uk @tylanberry.bsky.social @graemelyons.bsky.social Looking for help with identifying this 1.5mm Liny, please. Found in a garden centre so might not be on the British list, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Disco Doris has to be your best-named find of the year. I'm trying to imagine the underwater dance you did when you discovered it!

I'm always slightly worried about walking on the beach at Charmouth. The cliffs above have been different on every visit. Beaminster is one of those English place names that I'm sure I pronounce incorrectly
