From midwest Sweden 2006-07-05. I'm not sure wether this "ball" belongs to the spider or not ... Could this be a Araniella sp? The leaf is probably Syringa vulgaris.![]() ![]()

Araniella cucurbitina (and the egg sac is hers) - often found on Syringa

Hello! Tony Irwin wrote: Araniella cucurbitina (and the egg sac is hers) I have no distribution maps for Sweden, but here in Germany there are 6 Araniella species, and 5 of them cannot be separated by a photo. A. cucurbitina is the most abundant, but A. opistographa is not much less. So it would bei safest to call this spider Araniella cf. cucurbitina.

Hello! crex wrote: These are found in Sweden: - Araniella inconspicua - Araniella alpica - Araniella cucurbitina - Araniella displicata - Araniella opisthographa - Araniella proxima The same species as here in Germany . Only A. displicata can definitely be determined after a photo (also is mainly restricted to coniferous trees (Pinus) in sandy habitats).
