@jayrose_mcdonald keeps coming back for more spiders, this is the third one we’ve done! A garden cross, which in my view is a very cute and under rated spider. Did anyone notice there were absolutely LOADS of them last summer? I hope they are as abundant again this year 🕷️🕸️💕 I still have some space later this month, email me to book in at [email protected] #dotwork #dotworktattoo #pointilism #pointilismtattoo #blackwork #handpoke #handpokedtattoo #machinefreetattoo #nomachine #sticknpoke #stickandpoke #stickpoke #handpokers #handpokeartists #bristol #handpokebristol #bristolhandpoke #bristoltattoo #tattoobristol #qttr #spidertattoo #handtattoo #gardencrossspider #britishwildlife

These large Garden Cross orb-weaving spiders (Obsidentify is 100% sure) were spinning their webs in amongst the borders in Worcester College’s (Oxford) main quadrangle in early September ( @worcestercollegegardener ) – the webs were huge, with the largest I could see being about 100cm tall and 60cm wide (its outer radial threads marked by the red lines in the final photo) – this was the largest web I can ever remember seeing – amazing to think that they eat their web (and its contents) and spin a new one every night, which explains why they always look so tidy, especially early in the morning – they are one of our largest spiders and are common throughout Europe and were introduced into North America, with the earliest record being from Newfoundland in 1881, where their range is still expanding. It is one of those species that have several common names, including: Cross Orb-weaver, European Garden Spider, Cross Spider, Diadem Spider, Crowned Orb-weaver, Pumpkin Spider and Orangie; as well as Garden Spider and Garden Cross Spider – the "Cross" part of names comes from the white cross on its back. Its 8 legs (4 pairs) are specialised for producing and navigating its gloriously elaborate sticky silk web with their 3rd pair being quite a lot shorter than the others (photo 3); I believe that this set is specifically adapted for web activities and are of little use on the ground - anyone know why they are shorter? ⬅️Swipe left for more #gardencrossspider #gardenspider #crossorbweaver #orbweaver #Araneusdiadematus #spider #arachnid #cobweb #spidersweb #webs #insect #insects #insectsofinstagram #insectphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlifegarden #gardenwildlife #worcestercollege #worcestercollegegardens #worcestercollegeoxford #oxforduniversity #oxford #headgardener #gardenphoto #gardenphotography #gardensofinstagram #omsystems

I attended a local Cameras, Cakes and Cuppas event yesterday at my local park. Sometimes I forget how good it feels to get back out into nature. Jess, from the @parksfoundation was very knowledgeable and I found out that the "ball" in the 3rd image is a Gall Wasp Egg which they only lay on Oak trees. The spiders (all Cross Spiders - or Garden Cross Spiders, from the Orb Weaver family) were very accommodating 😊 🕷️🕸️ #crossspider #gardencrossspider #orbweaver #theparksfoundation #getoutinnature #naturephotography

Araneus diadematus - the European garden spider (AKA garden cross spider and pumpkin spider) These beautiful spiders are a clear sign that autumn is on it’s way 🧡🍁🎃 They’re definitely one of my favourite type of orb weavers. This specific one is one I see every night when I walk my dog. I affectionately named her “big mamma” due to her size and my suspicion that she may be Gravid #spiderseason #spider #spiders #spidersofinstagram #spidersoftheworld #spood #spiderlover #spiderenthusiast #spiderphotography📷 #europeangardenspider #gardencrossspider #pumpkinspider

The garden cross spider Araneus diadematus. It’s around now these spinners of the stunning and elaborate orb webs that suddenly appear draped around the garden. These large but harmless (to us) spiders webs adorn the borders, shrubs, windows, for the rest of the year they are far less conspicuous and much smaller. Late summer early autumn is their breeding season and the pregnant females appear very large indeed. The male is much smaller. #arachnid #araneusdiadematus #gardencrossspider #orbweaver

My New Neighbor! right outside my door hanging from the roof on it's new web! Spider season must be here as I've starting seeing strands of webs everywhere.

I sneaked through an office carpark as a slight cut through today. I’ve been meaning to try it for ages, to see if there was a way through, to cut a couple of metres off the corner, but mostly just because I like a little low key semi trespass. Today I actually did it, and you can get through, and, as a final seal of approval, I spotted this lovely big garden cross spider. Happy days . #spider #gardencrossspider #gardenorbweaver #cutthrough

🕷️ Found this juvenile Garden Cross Spider, Araneus Diadematus, in my garden. Shot in natural light with the light shining from underneath gives a great effect. It is a common orb-weaving spider species in Europe. Their striking cross-shaped abdomen patterns make them easily recognizable. -------------- Natural light, Handheld stack Omd-em1 mark ii M.Zuiko 60 mm macro Raynox 250 dcr ISO: 3200 Speed: 1/250 f: 5.6 -------------- #MacroPhotography #Araneus #AraneusDiadematus #GardenCrossSpider #SwedishWildlife #NatureInSweden #ArachnidAdventures #InsectsofEurope #SpidersOfInstagram #MacroMarvels #GardenIntricacies #SwedishGardenWonders #WildlifePhotography #NatureCaptures #DiscoverNature #NaturePhotography #WildlifeInFocus #SwedishNature #NatureLovers #MacroAddict

A beautiful Garden cross spider (Araneus diadematus) on my walnut tree. This guy isn't an ambush predator, his (her?) web is actually just above and to the left of where he is sat. Males build webs until mating season... BThen the females stay in their webs and the males go wandering... But I'm not sure when mating season actually is! #MyPhoto #Photography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Nature #NaturePhotography #Animals #Insects #Spiders #Arachnids #GardenCrossSpider #AraneusDiadematus

Kruisspin (Araneus diadematus) Familie Araneidae (kruisspinachtigen); De Araneidae, ook wel wielwebspinnen genoemd, maken allen een regelmatig wielweb, waarbij ook de naaf gevuld is, dit in tegenstelling tot de strekspinnen.
Een sterke signaaldraad loopt van het centrum van het web naar een schuilplaats in de vegetatie of ondergrond, waar de spin zich vaak ophoudt. EUROPESE SPIN VAN HET JAAR 2010 Leefwijze: De Kruisspin spant een regelmatig wielweb tussen lage planten of aan de onderste takken van bomen en struiken. Anders dan de overige Araneus -soorten zit de spin overdag meestal in het midden van het web, en heeft ook geen speciale schuilhoek/retraite. Bij de paring, die meestal in augustus plaatsvindt, lokt het mannetje met treksignalen het vrouwtje uit het midden van het web naar een speciaal gesponnen "paardraad". De eieren worden in september of oktober op verborgen plekken in een cocon van geel, wollig spinsel gelegd. De jonge spinnen verlaten deze pas na de winter, en zijn pas in het daaropvolgend jaar volwassen, de gehele ontwikkeling duurt dus 2 jaar. #gardenlife #fall #autumn #sunshine #goodvibes #spider #Araneae #GardenCrossSpider #Kruisspin #tuin #herfst #zon #AraneusDiadematus

Combined the morning dog walk with some spider spotting in Eaton Park, Norwich today. First up, Wasp Spiders (Argiope bruennichi). Previously only known from the southern coast of England, our changing climate is rapidly enabling this species range expansion north. This colony was discovered last year. What a delight to have this stunning species on our doorstep! Next up, two commoner species. Four-spot Orb-weaver (Araneus quadratus) & Garden Cross Spider (Araneus diadematus). Both really beautiful close up too and check out that camouflage! #spiders #arachnids #Norwich #eatonpark #eatonparknorwich #waspspider #fourspotorbweaver #gardencrossspider

Here we are looking at the last of the spiders of the outdoors in Canada. This is the common #AraneusDiadematus ( #Araneae: #Araneidae), which is arguably the spider encountered most frequently outdoors. Commonly known as the #GardenCrossSpider, the garden spider, or the cross spider, among other names, it is an #orbweaver, and a plump one at that. There is no doubt that this is a #gravid female, and she is likely biding her time until the last moment to lay her #eggsac in a safe place to #overwinter. She had been spinning a large, foot-diameter-wide web beside our front door for the past month. Doesn't she have nice patterning? #canadaspiders #ontariospiders #niagaraspiders #stcatharinesspiders #houseexteriorbiota #synanthropicspiders これは大きな腹を持つクモです。この一般なクモの雌は今にも卵を生みに整える。背中の文様はきれいですね? #クモ #くも #蜘蛛 #日本語の練習 #spidersarefriendsnotfoes
