Attack of the garden spiders

 (Apologies to any arachnophobes)

Our garden is overrun with huge black and yellow garden spiders. Although scary to look at, according to Wikipedia, they're harmless to humans.

 

The garden is also overrun with weeds, but that's another matter. 

The grasshoppers are thick this year and the spiders are feasting.
