Garden Spider (Arenas diadematus)

This is the commonest and most well known of the Orb Web spiders..........and I found it, funnily enough, in my garden. I would have liked to have got an overhead shot, but it refused to cooperate. The background is a rather grubby panel on the wall underneath one of our back windows,.

Best viewed large if you can bear it..!!

I normally have dozens of these in my garden at this time of year, but this is one of only 3 or 4 I've seen so far :-(

I absolutely love macro shots! It is so fascinating to see all the fine details and to see the world of miniature.

Ein klasse Macro, Keith! Die Schärfe und Details sind ausgezeichnet.
Als ich neulich vom Garten aus das Haus betrat, habe ich unabsichtlich ein Spinnennetz mit dem Kopf abgeräumt. Das Netz habe ich aus meinem Haar entfernt. In der Küche angekommen krabbelte etwas im Nacken. Mit den Händen konnte ich nichts ertasten. Ich musste das T-Shirt ausziehen und entdeckte dann die Spinne, die gleiche wie auf diesem Foto. Ich konnte sie durch das Fenster nach draußen lassen.

Ha, ha........that sort of thing happens to me as well, especially this time of year. I thought we'd missed the Spider activity but this past week of high temperatures seems to have Brough them out.
