Spindle trees are a sign of age in an established hedge, as well as being useful in all sorts of ways.

After pollination, flowers develop into bright pink fruits with bright orange seeds, which look a bit like popcorn!.

 

Spindle is hermaphrodite, meaning each flower contains both male and female reproductive parts. Flowers have four petals and grow in clusters in May and June, and are pollinated by insects.

 

Spindle is a deciduous native tree, and mature trees grow to 9m and can live for more than 100 years. The bark and twigs are deep green, becoming darker with age, and have light brown, corky markings. Twigs are thin and straight.

 

I just love to see the fruits ... who can say that orange and pink clash after seeing these beauties? 😁

Industrious, delicate, colourful. The spindle is at its loveliest in autumn when its leaves turn russet and its pink and orange fruits ripen. Wildlife loves its leaves and fruit, and aphids flock to it, bringing with them an array of their predators.

Theme = BELFIE!

 

Not only bare-assed, I went for the full-on nude, with tastefully placed chair spindles. You're welcome. (Several of the belfies are for Husband's eyes only! Didn't realize belfies could so quickly fall into... suggestion!)

'GOLDEN SPINDLES OR NOT GOLDEN SPINDLES, THAT IS THE QUESTION.' (2)

 

I was informed at the time these were Golden Spindles, despite lacking the characteristic pointed tips. They were a mature cluster and in prime condition. You can see that the largest fruiting body was very wide, flattened and had deep longitudinal grooves. Another was developing it's reddish-brown tip.

 

They don’t look very 'spindle-like' and I've never been completely convinced by their identification. They’ve sat in a file for over two years now and since photographing them I've searched field guides and web sites, but found no match. I can't find any alternative species either.

 

Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed.

Pentax K-3 - SMC Pentax DA*55mm F1.4 SDM

(IMG31248ec1a)

Sommeren er gået på hæld og efteråret, er på trods af skønne lune dage også begyndt at give lidt køligere morgner. Det gør at mange af vores små sværmere & insekter søger mod steder der er lidt lunere. På ét af de steder, i min overdækning, sidder en af de sidste dages “hellige” og tager godt imod de fortabte.

Det er den flotteste Korsedderkop jeg har set i år og så sidder den ovenikøbet lige i ansigtshøjde når jeg åbner døren…. hvergang jeg åbner…. så tror den er glad for at være der og får selvfølgelig lov til det :-)

Jeg kalder den for “The White Thin Duke” pga de forskelligt farvede øjne :-)

 

Korsedderkoppen hører til hjulspindere og er meget variable i grundfarven, og kan være være sort, brun, grå, rød, gul eller grønlig. Den er vidt udbredt i hele Danmark og du har sikkert fået dens spind i hovedet flere gange :-) Vi ser den sent på sommeren og tidligt om efteråret.

Hjulspindets tråde er meget klæbrige, så når insekterne først har været i berøring med spindet, kan de ikke komme fri. Når et insekt bliver fanget i spindet, skynder korsedderkoppen sig ud af sit skjul og sprøjter en dødbringende gift ind i byttet, hvorefter byttedyret pakkes ind i silketråde. Først herefter begynder den at udsuge sit bytte.

Når parringstiden er inde, nærmer hannen sig forsigtigt hunnen. Hvis han er uheldig, fanges han af hunnen efter parringen og ædes. :-)
