@s4r4h-l.bsky.social#Autumn delights for #WildWebsWednesday. Is it only me who thinks autumn won't cone when we get exceptionally hot summers? Yet with a little rain out come the #mushrooms and the the leaves start to change. I love watching the seasons change, give a sense of stability! #Nature #Lancashire
@s4r4h-l.bsky.social#WildWebsWednesday with an ENORMOUS orb weaver spider in the garden! Lots of #spiders around as I mowed my lawn last night, there was lots of ducking and careful manaeoverimg required! This one is particularly nicely coloured & marked, #autumnal colours too! #vitaminN #Lancashire

@sarahfaulkner.bsky.socialIt's spider season! 🕷️
Garden Cross Spiders are sprinkled across my allotment now. They're common but it's worth stopping to admire their beautiful markings.
And it seems a good time to look back and celebrate some other super spiders I've seen this year too. 🕸️

@rogerhorton.bsky.socialDidn't expect to see Firebugs at RSPB The Lodge Bedfordshire today but found one using a Broom pod as a hammock before it climbed up a stem. It may be 'macropterous' ie able to fly which would explain how it got where it was, under Silver Birch saplings.
