I seem to have found a Spiders nest ..

[Cobra]

....On a couple of my Bonsai trees.
No idea what they are but there are a few hundred of them approx 1-2 mm in size

BTW does anyone else get a chuckle when saving spiders images
for web and devices or is it just me?


Just one small section




And a "billy no mates"

Thanks Alby, Its a bit of a crop. Shot with Canon M50 + Canon 100mm IS L Macro lens + Raynox 250.
(I'm liking this new lens )

I think those little yellow guys are baby garden spiders (Araneus diadematus)

I do see quite a few adult garden spiders, on and off so its quite possible.
Edit and google seems to confirm it.

The Jumping spiders live at the other end of the garden.

Nice work chris
If the jumping spiders find those will enjoy a meal
I reckon it is just you who chuckles uploading spider photos.

Cheers Alf I'd not thought of that TBH, although I think they are reasonably safe, they are on trees that are about 1m off the ground, on one of my Bonsai benches.

OK fair enough

If a jumping spider sees those, it'll also see the 600 mates they're hanging out with.
Can spiders calculate odds?

Its that time of year when, we all see these clusters of babies.
A couple of days ago, I found a same ball of baby Garden Spiders, near my shed roof, I thought I would try for a shot the next day, but the little swines had all dispersed!

Mine are still here, they are fairly well sheltered from the rain where they are

No it isn't!

 

[Tori_T]

Have they all cleared off yet, or are there still a few around?

Still a few, down to a couple of dozen I guess
