Boss photos you've taken


8 legs.

Sometimes not always though, as this male Eratigena sp. shows, 6 will sometimes have to make do...

This is I believe Trichopsocus brincki - found on the waste bin in the garden which I had just filled with branches from a leylandii conifer - will have come from the conifer for sure. The others are also Psocids - though at the moment I am not able to give a definitive ID on those, but they are likely to be at least 2 different sub-species. The T.brincki was about 3mm long - the others were around just 1mm. Used extension tubes on the LAOWA 60D for the photos.

The conifer pieces in the recycling bin revealed a few more inhabitants during the night that came out and walked across the lid of the recycling bin...

And (I think - seeing as it is upside down) a young Araneus diadematus with what looks like a froghopper prey:
