Please see the two attached photos I have just taken whilst out in the garden this morning. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself can identity the two subjects.
The first photo is of orange / yellow eggs laid on the underside of a plum leaf [Victoria]. I suspect where there is one batch there are others. I realise these eggs could hatch into something harmful or something which is benign. Knowing which would cause me to destroy future batches or just leave them alone.
Second photo is more interesting and I have no intention of destroying the little spiders. It's the first time I have ever seen such. They have obviously recently hatched and presumably will disperse soon. I'm very interested in knowing which species of spider they are. Using a magnifying glass I could see they were very active amongst themselves, were bright yellow in colour each with a distinctive black patch [roughly the shape of a rough rectangle] on the middle of their backs. Should anyone be able to advise -thanks in advance.
