I recently went on holiday to Cyprus and in our garden close to the pool we spotted this really intimidating looking spider. I know this isnt actually my garden but since we had the villa 2 weeks i thought this would count. if anyone knows what spider this is me and my family would love to hear from you. I have researched loads of pages on spiders but i couldnt find any that looked exactly like this one only some similarities. Thanks!
