Babies Everywhere!

I still remember this photographic moment. Wandering through my flower garden on a warm day, I noticed movement in some dried fronds of sword ferns. Then I was filled with happiness when I realized I was seeing baby spiders scurrying around. Eventually I discovered that these were Araneus (European garden spider or crowned orb weaver). I'm just pleased that I had this close encounter.

 

Baby crowned orb weaver spiders travel in the most interesting way. Do check out this link for more information...
