We used to get them [spiderlings] regularly on a web on a Hebe near our back door in a previous house. The girls loved seeing them and were fascinated at the way they dispersed if the plant was even lightly touched.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
They are Garden Spiders, Araneus diadematus, although they look very different from the adults.
How long do spiderlings take to ‘grow up’? The Solomon seal tends to get stripped by sawfly later in the summer so hopefully the spiders will be away by then.
Just spotted the first baby goldfinch of the year 😍 parent bird just out of shot. Sorry for the crap photo, snapped it quickly on my phone before it flew away
Slowly building a wildlife garden, in a new build in East Yorkshire.
Very pretty @purplerallim. I caught one of the sparrows the other day, feeding the youngster I managed a video too, but I'll have to load it onto YouTube to put it on here. Had to fill up the feeders again as there's so many of them round here, and several pairs have been nesting in the chap's garden across from me, and sharing the facilities. Lovely to see them doing so well

I presume a type of moth with that wing formation, but a daytime one?
Does it need mint then to lay eggs on? I do have a few pots of two types of mint in the garden.
