Fence dwellers tonight

Took a quick look at the garden fence panels and there were a few chance moments...

First, one of the resident rabbit hutch spiders (Steatoda bipunctata) - these are very reactive to movement - touch the fence panel and they rush back into hiding...

Next an unfortunate sun fly (Helophilus pendulus), which will not see sunrise as the it's captor lurks underneath the captive late night supper - a hungry lace-weaver spider (Amaurobius sp.)...

The lastly the common blow fly (Calliphora vicina (at the imago stage))...
