Think the mystery may be solved.
This is most likely the male Woodland Spider.
Was in the same web as the yellow & black (female) Woodland Spider. Although both are about the same size 3-4cm

| Don't know the name of this beast. It is quite big, 4-5 inch across. At first, it was quite relax but then it switched to post seem like ready to fight. Maybe some insect expert can tell us more about it. |
