Rewell Wood afternoon

Green Orb-weaver, Araniella cucurbitina
On Wednesday afternoon I spent an hour or so at Rewell Wood. One Comma showed itself plus a few Speckled Yellow moths, including one nectaring on Foxglove. This tiny Green Orb-weaver caught my attention. During the past two weeks the plants have soared from the ground like Jack's beanstalk.

  1. Hi Colin I love the green orb photo. We get golden orbs at dads house. Have you seen them? Scary. Hope all is well with you and Sue. Glad that camera of yours is getting a regular workout. Humpback whale season here at the moment really hope to see them soon. Sheryl
