Boss photos you've taken

I have an egg box in the garden (meant to trap opiliones, but it hasn't done) though on my late night jaunt it did attract a candy stripe spiderling.

Just the others from the jaunt where I found the candy stripe spider.

Here is a cellar spider (entitled "when I grow up I want be.... a bigger spider!)

Here's a tiny spiderling that shows they'll take on anything no matter the size!

Next is a 2mm (max) springtail - I think it's Bourletiellidae.

Finally a close view of a blow fly.

Christ, these are absolutely incredible!
 


Lousy weather most of the day but when the sun shined for half an hour, the insects came out to play briefy...


A wolf spider carrying her eggs:

A sawfly larva tucked up away from any rainfall:

I think this is Pimpla rufipes - the black slip wasp - hard to get anything because ichneumonids are way to quick and this one was deep in the laurel:

And lastly the Salticus scenicus jumping spiders came out. There were 3 - the smallest being the one on the left at around 2mm which cautiously kept her eyes on the middle sized one, while the largest wandered around nearby but kept away from the other two:
