we have seen some very interesting looking spiders around our villa. can anyone suggest where we can find out what type they are, and whether or not they are dangerous. we have a good picture of one recently that built a web over our front door it had yellow and black legs and a silver body and measured about 75mm across

Im absolutely terrified of spiders. Completely petrified of even small ones. I go into a trance and cant breathe or move. I am moving to baspinar and im really really scared as its way up the mountain. Does anyone know of any powder i can put down or a spray that really works because everytime i think about moving there i cry!! Its only for a few months but im not sure how im going to manage it!
