A few from Sunday night

Good to see a few arrivals around the garden area - I've seen few (not been looking that much to be fair) but the nicer weather and warmer nights are bringing the guests out...

A mayfly (imago stage)...

Supper for a Neriene montana spider and 2 others (one is looking gravid)...

And finally wrapping up a snack is a small Platnickina tincta (commonly called the False Pirate Spider because, a bit like Ero sp. (Pirate Spiders), it hangs out on the webs of other small spiders and steals their prey or even kills them).
