this larger spider has a 'cocoon' similar to the spider immediately above and also seems to be the same species as the one above that. The untidy web had several aphids caught in it but one small green creature was a baby spider similar to the above row Metlands 3/7/08
and then there was this one, same again, who would appear to be adding to its web in an Orange Blossom flower Sheridan Close 3/7/08

My favourite so far. Practically every fence post in the Park between the lime trees and the turning to Metlands had a little colony of these freshly hatched spiders running about on top of each. I thought at first they were ants (they are 2-3mm) but then I could see them running across web strands. Once loaded onto the computer I could count legs as well. 17/10/08
