Another day in the countryside, and you know what it means: another one of my mini-documentaries. I find another web with hundreds of baby spiders (this time on a rosemary plant) -curious that I’ve never seen these my whole life and now I found two in the same spring- plus some other interesting insects.
Yesterday I saw two nature wonders! In the morning I went for a hike near Segni with my sister’s family, and while we were watching the cows and the horses with my nephew, we noticed that there was something moving in one of the the ponds…actually the whole pond was in motion: there were millions (many millions) of tadpoles enjoying the sun! Look how awesome:
Then in the afternoon I went to San Procolo, and while I was pruning some bamboos, I found a web with the size more or less of a tennis ball, with hundreds and hundreds of baby spiders! If I’m correct these are araneus diadematus. Mama spider must have laid all the eggs in a bag and they spawned out of it, all in the same place. Here they are:
Here is a new video from San Procolo, I filmed this just few hours ago. There are some new interesting insects, my favorite is the earthworm: the way he digs to hide underground is very cool!
A new mini-documentary from the countryside, where I spent the day. It was a lovely day, life is waking up for spring! There’s also a new puppy that my father’s aunt found abandoned in the street few days ago. He doesn’t have a name yet, but he’s very cute!
