There's been a cellar spider on my bathroom ceiling holding an egg sac for a few days, and last night I noticed that the sac had become a little bundle of baby spiders! They've since scattered into a small swarm, so I'm glad I managed to snap a quick picture while I could (even if it isn't all that sharp - I think my phone focused on the shadow rather than the spider). #spiders #SpiderSunday #CellarSpider

A Pteromalidae parasitoid wasp sits still next to a ground crab spider, Xysticus sp. Thanks to Adriano Cazzuoli at #iNaturalist am now alerted to the possibility that this wasp is a parasite of the spider’s eggs. To top it off, the spider has predated upon a smaller wasp of similar colouration, Pteromalidae-like in shape, and is holding on its jaws; and between there’s a whitish maggot or pupa of perhaps a small hymenopteran.

#SpiderSunday: a candy-stripe cobweb spider (_Enoplognatha ovata_ var. _redimita_) on a Canada thistle. To the left you can see a spiky little tortoise beetle larva with its tail curled upwards to hold its protective shield of poop.

#SpiderSunday: an _Enoplognatha_ cobweb spider (a juvenile male going by the bulbous but undifferentiated pedipalps) delicately drawing out silk. Found down by the lake.

#SpiderSunday × #bloomscrolling: This year, at least, the _Zygiella_ spiderlings emerged in concert with the horse-chestnut blossoms. (I actually like these even more than cherry blossoms.)

Just under the wire for #SpiderSunday! I felt bad for this five-legged running crab spider (_Philodromus_ sp.) so I caught him a nice big midge which he quickly took from my hand.

A woodlouse spider (Dysdera crocata) next to its recent meal. It takes a strong constitution and an even stronger set of chompers to feed on woodlice, but fortunately this species has frankly enormous chelicerae (worth a google)!

A tiny crab spider (Xysticus sp.) on a blade of grass.
Crab spiders are ambush hunters which do not build webs.

A while ago, carving an alabaster piece, this little guy showed up, unimpressed by all the hammering and chiseling. Of course I moved it to a safe place.

Did you know spiders have paws? Aren't they adorable?
Oh! BTW, I'm starting #SpiderSunday since Saturday is reserved for cats...🙄😂🤣
I've cleared windows to shoot photos the next day, and came back to a silk sheet over them.
Industrious little critter.
Ain't she a beaut?
The spider species Araneus diadematus is commonly called the European garden spider, diadem spider, orangie, cross spider, and crowned orb weaver.
(The garden spider variety that I have, are smaller)
I missed this on Spider Sunday ..
