This
spider constructed a funnel-shaped web. There was no identifiable prey
to be seen. I have identified this as a species
of Tegenaria,
(parietina?)
which is reported to be synanthropic.
This identification needs to be confirmed.
Body
of the Spider
The
two like feelers (where a claw would be, superficially, on a crab) are
called palps."

Originally
identified as a Common Darter
now
thought to be a female Ruddy Darter
because of its black legs
I
was lucky to capture this Darter in fine display. Clicking on the
images will enlarge them to something special.

| This
insect appears to be the Speckled Bush Cricket, Leptophyes punctatissima.
There are several similar species and I have not double-checked at the time of writing. |
About
a dozen of these Small Skippers
were restlessly flitting around more often than not in pairs and courting.
