What will these grow into?

[almoststew1990]

We've got a nest(?) of baby spiders in our back garden. Two actually, one on the gate and one on the recyling bin. They're a weird yellow and black colour.

So what will they grow into? Will they kill my Dad whilst he's out earning a living or are they normal boring spiders that I can just leave to eat all the ants and flies in the garden to protect the accidental potato crop we've got going?

They were running away in this picture because I lifted the bin lid. A minute later they were back in a blob, which was cool.

Those little bad boys are orb weavers from the Araneus diadematus family. They are fine just don't poke them or they will scatter like in that second picture, they will cluster together again though until they grow large enough to wander off.

Either a standard issue garden spider, or a Queen Wasp.

They're definitely take off and nuke from orbit spiders!

 

[Diddums]

These are awesome, I love the way they cluster up like that.

 

[almoststew1990]

OK I'll leave them alone! I wonder when they'll move out though.

Either a standard issue garden spider, or a Queen Wasp.

Oh if only there was someone who could tell us the difference.

Just LOL if you think they won't grow into some super spider Transformer creature and destroy you and your house.

And this is why the US should have never abandoned their Strategic Defense Initiative partical beam and laser program

in the blue bin pic....I wonder if the one all on it's own, to the top left is freaking out or just thinking '**** I need to travel allll the way over there'

Observing just pic one, first guess was Sugar Puffs...

This should do the trick, just take the end off and hose them in

This should do the trick, just take the end off and hose them in

And bring them into the house? That's how it starts

Seriously, small spiders just grow into bigger spiders...

Spiders.

I once saw these clump together on the side of a vehicle.

 

[NoobCannon]

Pretty sure i accidently sprayed some of those with deodorant earlier, also whilst accidently using a lighter to see what i was doing

Those golden stripey Orb Weavers are amazing.
