I think they are both the same sex, so a chat it was... Paul.
-
Never got very close to each other, but just 3 bricks apart... Paul.
-
When you spot something and you can't get it in focus cos there's barely even a 1/100th of second it's there! Paul.
-
If it were legless it would never get "a round" in.... Paul.
-
They have a 60 percent probability of losing a leg during their lifetime apparently. Paul.
-
This is a harvestman - they have 8 legs (usually) but this one has only seven - though it will survive just as well as any other despite losing a leg... It is either Phalangium opilio, or the red harvestman Opilio canestrinii. Paul.
-
Well done Gareth - rust is a fantastic subject for 'togs. Paul.
-
The next stage from the Eulophus Wasp Parasitoids sequence... The detached one has developed what I assume may be (a dark brown) pre-cocoon area... Paul.
-
Not sure I would want to sail in her... Paul.

I was going to say just that! Paul.

I think it is the Bright-line Brown–eye (or sometimes called the Tomato Moth) caterpillar (Lacanobia oleracea). Paul.

Cute! Paul.

Nobody of repute sees them I'm afraid... Perhaps your Japanese friend should look into the forum? Paul.

Here is the updated video and latest photos: there are only 2 wasp parasitoids visible now, and one has detached itself from the (now dead) host caterpillar... Paul.

Thanks Denis Paul.

Thanks gents - it sure is a mysterious and remarkable world in macro... Paul.

Well done Cheryl - a vibrant colourful winner x Paul.

That's nature. She is so clever! Paul.

Hehehe.... It become the yellow brimstone moth Polly. A d yes, there are plenty around! Paul.

When is a stick not a stick? When it is Opisthograptis luteolata Paul.

The fear of the false widows is media hype - like petrol shortages... they are the Noble Spider, Steatoda nobilis. Some use the name "False widow" purely because it was created by the media to cause fear, vilify a species and ultimately make money from sales of newspapers. They are generally - harmless. Few if any spiders will actually bite. Paul.
-
Thanks Polly. That's known as the "missing sector" orb spider or the "silver-sided" orb spider. Often found near windows. Paul.
-
Zygiella x-notata and Steatoda bipunctata Both on the fence tonight... Paul.
-
Beautiful orb weaver - hard to tell from this side, but I think it's a cross spider - Araneus diadematus. Paul.

Lovely - but please, have some of our rain - we have had a lot these last 24 hours! Paul.
