Many thanks! | Araneus diadematus, my polytunnel has about 5 bunches of them. Blow gently on them, and the little ball of spiders will cover you from head to foot.

Oh right, simple as that  Thanks.
Unfortunately a couple of them fell victim to various other spiders lurking in the vicinity. Born to be dinner.
Many thanks again |
