A quick lunchtime wander found me staring at these bright orange little fungi.

Scutellinia umbrarum - Thanks Greenie!
Green Sheild Bug - I assume, but was surprised to see masses of them on the herbage. None of these seemed to be adults - and some of them seemed very wee indeed.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX9rTquY7pk4ttcBbrX1-9RqFPN60jmNmPL0_zhA3NE4kcZByPYYMBDTAh9gVPY_grI9_3iYSQW_k15YNx_o6g3cfNX00mzQyRlMCjALRKc7uTDZ2-Lm3y7kb2KdEoHNCOkl1fJc-gt-A/s320/ladybird+spp+26+aug.JPG)
My ladybird ID hasn't come along a lot recently, but now understand it's a 14-spot.

And thanks again to Greenie for the Garden Spid ID - I must get the Spid book out more...

Your little orange fungi - from this distance - best shot - assuming it's on wood - Scutellinia umbrarum , another member of family S.scutellata -Eyelash Fungus actually has eyelashes round the rim .
Ladybird - 14 Spot .
Spider - Garden Spider , diagnostic white cross on abdomen .
Hope this helps , Cheers
Yes the spider is definitely Araneus diadematus - white-cross garden spider.
