Araneus diadematus spiders are doing well recently. I think the butterfly is a brown hairstreak which I have not seen before.

My garden is full of Orbs, they are the dominant species! :eek:
I can't help thinking I have turned my garden into an Orb banquet suite. :rolleyes:

Fascinating captures although I can't help but feel sorry for the brown hairstreak as I particularly love butterflies.

Wonderful set Brian. Lots of orbs in my garden at the moment but they all seem to be facing the wrong way! LOL
