Wow, that's a LOT of spiders! I wouldn't have gotten close enough to touch the web -- my stomach would have done some serious backflips! Brave capture!

Ok, I'm going to take a deep breath and look at this for what it is~~some really good photography!! Then I'm gonna run away screaming, shaking myself off and hoping none of those is catching a ride on my shirt!! Great fotos, Jeff!!

Fabulous, Jeff! When I had a yellow Volvo estate I found a nest like this on the car, and of course they exactly matched! So I've always called them Volvo spiders which is not very scientific! Their are some good spider ID sites if you need to know the name, my book has something very similar but it says they don't occur in GB, only Belgium, France, Holland etc. I think the left hand pic is superb,shows all the details. Aren't they CUTE!

Very stunning! Hope I do not dream from spiders tonight!

Ewwwwwww! Jeff! lol Just freak us all out why dontcha? Great photography, glad you could let us see it really enlarged! ::::shudder::::: ;P

excellent images Jeff, i'm even starting to itch now. :-)

Just imagine all that silky web that has been spun, that is the main reason for the haze in the first pic.

great picture... but not sure I want to Zoom in lol..... like the way you did you collage very creative! creepy stuff Jeff :)

Could win prizes with these shots Jeff (almost called you Leeco) Astonishing photography ! Can't praise you enough on this set of shots and very nicely put together mate. I take my hat off to you !!!

YIKES look at them all!!! * RUNNN LOL!!! beautifully presnted and captured!!!

Oh my get the spray can lol. Way to many spiders for my liking. But an excellent collage. Oooh gives me the shudders.

Very well captured.

Well done Jeff you found a nest full of spiderlings there is usually a much denser central part to the nest and is an amazing wildlife sight..

what type are they jeff do you know ?..ive never seen anything like this although i tend to be looking a lot harder these days .ive also noticed there arent a lot of spiders generally in my garden or the neighbours and im wondering why that is ..even the bad one is`nt that bad mate and the other two are spot on :o)..excellent mick

superb shots:)

a group hug alright!~ wow!!! good find Jeff, and nice shots :)

Gosh! I love that word! PLETHORA...so few people use it these days and its so descriptive. Well, you didn't post this for comments on your language skills so let me just say that your spider captures are great. I know how tiny they have to be. and you have quite the eye to see them and to get captures as good as you did!

Nice capture of some of natures moments we all miss. Excellent

Sorry Jeff, you will get a double ebot here but I just tracked it down What are those bundles of tiny yellow spiders with a black spot? Towards high summer and the beginning of autumn, small egg-sized clumps of tiny spiders can be found on webs in the garden and. If disturbed these erupt into a cascading mass of tiny yellow spiders with a black spot on the rear end. These are quite harmless baby Garden Spiders. In late summer or early autumn many spiders mature mate and produce eggs. The common Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) lays from three to eight hundred yellow eggs that she cements together and covers in a dense layer of coarse protective yellow silk and detritus. When spring comes the following year, bundles of tiny yellow spiderlings with a black spot on their rear end can be found. If disturbed, the bundle of babies will 'explode', with individual spiderlings dispersing away from each other on tiny silken safety lines. Once the danger has passed they climb back up the web and form a clump again. Before emerging from their egg sac, the spiderlings moulted once. Once emerged, they remain together until they have moulted yet again and grown big enough to be independent. http://www.britishspiders.org.uk/html/bas.php?page=faq&faq=17

Fantastic shot, great collage and great idea is so lucky find this big group. Congratulations

Oh Dear Me!!! I can't say I like spiders at all!!! But these are super photo's and you are very brave for getting so close!!!

I love these images! Mostly because all those spiders are in a different country from me. LOL! Also, because this is just some danged fine photography. I don't hate spiders at all, but I can't say I'm fond of walking into a web they've strung between the porch and the pole on the other side of the walkway! As long as they're minding their own business, I'm good with 'em.

Great shots. Spiderlings this small are hard to focus on and you got it right, lol. These are way cool little balls of color. Marvelous find and better captures. The full size view is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Lee

Hi Jeff wonderful capture, I so agree but I do not like spiders none at all sweet smile to you warm hug, Linda
