The photo immediately attracted the attention of many people. Most of them were surprised to know that this was a spider that looked like a watermelon. A zoologist explained to everyone that this strange spider was a green cucumber spider.

The green cucumber spider, scientifically known as Araniella cucurbitina , is a species of spider in the family Araneidae. It is found in parts of Europe, North America and Central Asia, and is most common from May to September and is often difficult to spot because of its coloration. It is found in forests, where it weaves webs between leaves and flowers, in low-lying areas. The webs are only about 10cm in diameter. Females are 8mm long, while males are only 5mm long.

According to the expert, Bjørn-Gunnar Lunde and his wife were very lucky to have encountered a green cucumber spider. Because the green cucumber spider is a spider that is very good at hiding . It has a talent for hiding in visible places or often confusing people long enough to escape. Therefore, the rate of "encountering" these mini "watermelons" is also very low. After being explained by the expert, Bjørn-Gunnar Lunde and his wife were extremely surprised to know that they had the opportunity to admire this special spider so closely.
