Re: The Nature Photography Thread
I think it's Araneus cucurbitinus, but one or two things look a bit wrong....can I have a side view, to confirm?

Re: The Nature Photography Thread

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
In some ways it looks like one of the Dictyna...but I can't find a match. Also the eye grouping is very much Araneus. How about a pic of the web?

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
Can anyone be bothered Googling 'Dictynidae' and searching the list for a match? (Stefan
 )....I think that's where you'll find your answer. It's not a spider I've ever seen.Here's a starting point for all you 'Googlers'!!List of Dictynidae species - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  But I wouldn't have known where to look if you hadn't suggested that, I wouldn't have gotten it right if google hadn't offered to correct your spelling and I definitely wouldn't have figured out Nigma, if some Czech website (coincidentally, the same website Sjoerd linked to) hadn't had a picture of that species.
