30 Days Wild 2021 – Day 11 – In the Garden – Green Orb-Weaver Spiders

In the Garden this evening (Bit later with writing the blog post today), came across a Green Orb-Spider (Araniella cucurbitina) busy between the leaves on my Pyrocantha also called Fire Thorn hedge.

A small UK spider at around 6mm found commonly throughout the UK. Identifiable with its green abdomen and green brown body, also known as the “Cucumber green spider”.

Need to do some more research into this spider. Although common, not seen any before. That camouflage works well!

Have you seen one before?
