im no expert at all someone will know better you may get a better response on the british tarantula society forum if you dont want to make an account on there with your permission I could take the pic and put it on there for you?

[Kev132]

Sure mate if you dont mind that would be awesome !

[SiUK]

cool il do it now I would like to know what it is as well and theres some very knowlegable people on there

[SiUK]

someone on here may know but at least if I put it on there it doubles the chance of finding out

It looks like a regular garden spider or house spider. There's too many to identify. See a lot of these around window frames and fences in peoples gardens.

yeh like a orb spider I cant remember who it is but theres someone thats a bit of an expert on UK spiders so maybe he would know

[Kev132]

so its safe for me to give my beardies the locusts ? and its not criel to just let this guy go outside ?

[spider_mad]

stick him in the garden or greenhouse if you have one.
It may have been put in the locusts to feed on any small mites or phorid flies and any other small parasitic insects. I often get little hairy catapillar bout 1cm with some of my crickets probably the same reason

when I buy my tubs of crickets theres always a few little catapillars in there
