Description
Araniella cucurbitina, a little orb web spider on one of super Echiums I grew from seed last year.
Patience is required , as they don't flower in the first season.
I am struck by the way she matches the leaf's colours so well

Great colors and details.Matching the enviroment is crucial when hiding in plain sight.
She is quite colourful herself!!
Very very very great photo !!!!
Must say she blend in very well with the leaf. Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Well seen! She is a lovely little thing!
Strictly speaking wouldn't it be Spider above Echium? Lovely classic web design. Superb detail. I wonder if the marking on her backside is meant to deter unwanted visitors?
Glad you posted this cool image, Andrea, just as a reminder that such creatures actually do exist in this world.
She is indeed a beauty Great capture
Lovely spider and a super close up.
What a cool spider, not seen this one yet :)
Nice macro.
Fascinating spider capture, people should fear them less. Nice work.
I do like the orb weavers, they are so talented! One year we had a bazillion of them at the Hollow, but the last few years they've been harder to find. Not a good omen in my mind. A beautiful shot of this one. Wonder why they often are like this, belly outward. Makes getting a topside photo difficult.
Camouflage at its best - an excellent capture!
