A miscellany from the Galloping Goose Trail and Colquitz River Park by Ian Cooper, and from Rosemary Jorna in Kemp Lake.    Thanks, as ever, to Dr Robb Bennett, for help with the spiders, and to Dr Frans Janssens with the springtails.

   Jeremy  Tatum writes:   It is frustratingly close, but I can’t quite tell whether the gnat below is a small crane fly (Tipulidae) of the Subfamily Limoniinae, or a winter gnat of the Family Trichoceridae.
