The 11pm shift

[Paul Iddon]

Just after 11pm last night I had a look around the darkness of the garden.

Nothing unusual of course, except maybe the little braconid wasp, and I only managed the focus on the ocelli rather than the near compound eye.
In addition, there was a tomocerus springtail, an opilione ( which I think is Paroligolophus agrestis ) and finally a very small candy stripe spider, sat on what could be a seed pod or something plant-orientated (to the eye I first thought it was a tiny snail shell, but it clearly isn't).

Hard to explain...

The round thing is on the vertical side of the compost bin - and the spider stepped on to it (the whole photo was taken at a stupid angle and was difficult to get.

I think after studying it, that it is a fruit from a nearby flower that has fallen and in the wind landed where it did. It's almost like a blueberry (though they are blue) which is what leads me to think it's a fruit of some sort.
