ball of spiderlings

Tricky decision to choose my blip for today. A lovely morning and I did my usual slight detour to find some subjects to take photos of. I got a nice flower shot, fairly similar to previous ones. I also noticed my own shadow crossing double yellow lines. I thought that's it - my wife will approve.

On my way home I noticed this odd structure in a hedge. I thought some seed got caught in the a spider's web. I decided to have a closer look - it was a ball of spiderlings ball of spiderlings (Araneus diadematus, garden spiders). I had seen photos of these before but never actually saw one. So, I was well pleased and decided that's my blip for today.
