You know what we're looking at today? That's right, more birds. Only this time they're tiny ones that you can probably fit in your hands. Not that it's a good idea to try to fit these into your hands- cute as they might undoubtedly be, wild animals are still wild animals. General protocol if you see baby birds (or just baby animals) is to leave well alone for at least a day or so if they don't look unhurt and just keep an eye on things, even if their parent isn't in sight. If you do handle them though, don't worry! Their parents will take them back. The whole thing about animal moms not taking back their kids if humans handle them is honestly very bunk, and mostly there so that children don't handle animals. I'm assuming you're all not children, so.

Anyway, that's all for today's pre picture natter, so on with the cute!

And today's spider, wait for it...

Here it is!

This is Araneus quadratus, which is really mostly just called the four-spot orb weaver. It's actually one of the most common spiders around Europe and Asia and isn't very big, at their very largest, the females might only ever get up to... well, just under 2 centimeters. You might note from these pictures that they all look a little different, apart from the four white sports. That's because a) they do actually come in different colours and b) they can change their colours over several days. It's pretty impressive, isn't it?

Like other orb weavers, they build their nests to catch insects that come by. Unlike other orb weavers, they tend to prefer lower web building sites, so you won't see these high up in trees. Rather, they'll construct their homes closer to the ground or between lower bushes so as to catch insects that jump around on the ground when they take wrong jumps into their webs. Here are two more pictures of these pretty ladies:

Oooh, pretty birds.

Thanks for posting the four-spot orb weavers - they're really pretty close up.

The tiny birds are really cute - and so is the spider!

Tiny fat birds, my favorite!

Also, I wanted to thank you for all the spider pictures. I used to be extremely arachnophobic but all your cute pictures of spiders have made me much less afraid of them, and I even like them to a degree now. :)

That's how I feel about the spider pictures! I don't think I'd like it if there were BIG spiders, but maybe I'll be able to work my way up after looking at all the small, cute, curious ones!

Birdies! I love birdies! From the cute little ones to the cool birds of prey to pretty, sleek shore birds...

That bird is FABULOUS! [snaps fingers]

Oh the birds are so fluffies!

I thought that first spider was under a mushroom!

i love birds, omg. i have a sun conure but she doesn't like my camera. :@

YEEEEEE, HUMMINGBIRDS. I love them so! Can I request an all-hummingbird day, if there hasn't been one already? There are some really crazy hummers out there, and they're all just so pretty. :D

Hehe, fat spider. That second picture is really stunning!
