European Garden Spider - Araneus diadematus This morning I took a picture of my new housemate basking in the glow of the rising sun. Despite being called a garden spider, this fellow has built his web on the outside of my window frame on the 7th floor of a high rise building. I've been enjoying it for a few days now. Look how perfect his web is!

    If I'm not mistaken, the spiderlings are carried by wind and will then build a web wherever it takes them :) Posted 2 years ago
