Not sure what this may be or if I have enough of a picture for anything approaching an ID.... Could it be a crab type of spider?
One thing's for sure its either afraid of nothing or colourblind!! |

Not a crab, but an orb-web; either Araniella cucurbitina or A. opistographa. |

Thank you! I saw that it wasn't in the usual xexexexe spider posture, but I have never seen an orb-web type that is quite this colour! Thank you! |

All the ones that I have seen have all been bright green but this colouration is quite common; although not, so far, in my garden. |

I have seen ones with bits of yellow or even mostly yellow/green but never so entirely yellow/green |

Gill,
If you see the underside , just above the spinners towards the dorsal side, there is a red spot which tells you it's Araniella,
I found one the other day, and had it confirmed under Araniella spp? you can see the red spot in it,
