Nestled amongst the blades of Freesia I found this lovely yellow garden spider.
The first thing I noticed wasn’t the spider itself, but its amazing zigzag stabilimentum.
The weaving was so vibrant and fine, I thought it was a piece of light blue plastic mesh netting, perhaps a scrap from a bag of fruit. Upon closer inspection, however, I realized it would have been impossible to have landed so perfectly in the center of the web, let alone for the spider to be sitting upon it.
What have you recently discovered in your backyard?
That’s pretty cool looking. I love cool looking spiderwebs.
Dan,
The web decoration actually has an iridescent sheen to it of a blueish hue. I’ve never seen a web like that before. Really excited to watch it for a while :)
SJA
The next day, the spider was gone.
So glad I was able to capture this beautiful spider and its web for posterity :)
Wow! Thats pretty cool im just glad we didnt find it here. ;)
