Spiderlings (Araneus diadematus) - in a bunch
A few minutes after taking SP9211 : Spiderlings (Araneus diadematus) the mass of little spiderlings had grouped themselves tightly together forming a little blob no bigger than a £1 coin. The little fellow top left looks to be the last one to join the scrum!
See the linked photo above for more information on these baby spiders.
[Update 1st June] All the spiderlings have now disappeared without trace, whether they have dispersed to become solo spiders - or have been predated upon I have no idea.

This Link will bring up a selection of other Geograph images of Araneus diadematus, mostly adults.
