Baby garden spiders

Currently living outside my bedroom window. Don't think I will be opening that window just yet!

  1. Reminds me of this story I've read on the internet. It's about a guy breeding black widow spiders. He has a large container full of thousands of baby spiders and then accidentally drops it. After several weeks, multiple extermination rounds, still some were coming into the house from outside. He even moved.

    Anyway, sleep well dear Claire.

The spider species "Araneus diadematus" is commonly called the European garden spider, diadem spider, orangie, cross spider and crowned orb weaver. It is sometimes called the pumpkin spider, although this name is also used for a different species, "Araneus marmoreus". It is an orb-weaver spider found in Europe and North America.
