The Orange Diamond, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5721S3

This orb weaver I met in the Paradiset nature reserve in Huddinge, Sweden on Midsummer's Eve is an Araneus sturmi.

 

To the best of my knowledge, it lacks a common English name, but here in Sweden it is called "ruterspindel" where "ruter" is the Swedish name for the suit of diamonds in a deck of cards.

 

Also, it stayed still enough for me to manage three shots which I focus-stacked into one using Zerene Stacker for a little extra depth of field.
