No idea about the freshness thing Andestine, but would like to know as well.
You're right I think, Susie - Garden Orb Weaver, Araneus diadematus. Sorry, can't help you that much Andestine, but I don't think they'd leave prey longer than two weeks if that! If it had dried up, they'd likely just re-inject their chemical thing (...wow, look at me - I'm very technical ) and try again... oh, and you may already be aware that wasps are actually good pest controllers too.
