European Garden Spider (female)

Hi John, welcome to Project Noah. This appears to be the same species as the previous spotting. If this is the case then we have a simple rule and that is "same species, same day, same place = one spotting" of up to 6 pictures. Since this is a female European Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) and the other picture is a male of the same species they may be left separate, but I would suggest noting the difference in the description for the benefit of other viewers and adding the scientific name which I have given you. You can do this by clicking on the "Edit this Spotting" link below the main picture. You can find more of our rules in the FAQs pages https://www.projectnoah.org/faq
