@elonmusknews30 Hi

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders Yes, close to the lake.

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders can you ID this please, Nosterfield Nature reserve

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders @Megabunus I've already sent them to Meg, but she must be away, perhaps, no reply from Saturday so far.

@BritishSpiders can anyone ID these Huntsmen please, YNU Moth trapping Sat 19th Redmire Quarry

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders Redmire quarry YNU Moth trapping Sat 19th. Abundant red and black ants evident. Iridescence evident. Shooting happens regularly on site, so possible import. Could this be Micaria sp. Markings suggest subopaca species.

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@Megabunus location on os screen shot attached, abundant numbers of Harvestmen, too numerous to count, we had a YNU field trip moth trapping

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@Megabunus Hi Meg, can you ID these please, today at Redmire quarry DL8 got a couple more to post, thanks

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders not the best of photos but I found them on St Kilda, Outer Hebrides on Sunday 18th May in Blackhouse no 3 on the street. Sitting on sheet silk in corner of sash windows. I think possibly Tegenaria or Eratigena can you confirm please

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders can you ID this please. Found Nosterfield Nature reserve location attached, Friday 23rd under a leaf, some silk evident also.

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@Chizz_79 @BritishSpiders Wow, awesome camouflage

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders @BerryTylan Thanks

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders struggling to ID these from book, the first one was tiny about 1-2mm in size on a bud in a church yard, the second on a recent field trip to Nosterfield nature reserve in Nth.Yorkshire found in damp marshy conditions. Circa 3 -5mm in size, ID appreciated thanks

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders Xysticus cristatus I think? please confirm. F probably given size.

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders Not certain but is this a Pardosa? Male displaying courtship, it walked on the meniscus of our pond to this location!

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders Amarobius sp. Am I correct? Found inside my car boot space but safely placed on wall.

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders is this a Pardosa?

[Andy MacGillivray @Spidaymann]

@BritishSpiders help with ID please, 2-3mm in size on bud in a church yard
