Yep, certainly the way it is sitting is typical of an orb weaver. The orb weavers seem to be smaller this time of year. Normally they come in a drab grey, but occasionally an orange or a green.
It's that time of the year the orb weavers come out to play. I found that out on Monday night, putting out the rubbish bin. I knew it was summer when I felt that sticky silk wrap around my face and eight panicking legs dancing around my head. This was of course followed by my first head banging, face slapping dance of the summer. Hope the neighbours weren't watching!
Sorry Jen! You'll be pleased to know she's alive and well hiding from the sun under the eaves. I'm sure in an hour or two she'll be spinning another web.
Yes Baz, pulling web out of my hair for a while. Forgot to mention, I love the side on photo, and her tiny eye peering out from between her front legs.
