\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>At last, after navigating through the difficulties of installing a new computer system and transferring files from one to the other, I believe Invertebrate Alert is now almost back in business. The one thing still remaining to do is to update the Index. I haven\u2019t managed to update that since February 5 \u2013 I am still working on it (writes Jeremy Tatum).<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Ian Cooper sends a photograph of a springtail from View Royal, Feb 07 2024, and some recent spiders.\u00a0 We thank Dr Robb Bennett for help with identifying the spiders.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Springtail \u00a0Orchesella cincta <\/em>(Coll.: Orchesellidae)\u00a0 \u00a0 Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the first two spiders below, Dr Bennett writes:\u00a0 They are most likely a conspecific male and female pair. The female is definitely a Neriene<\/em> \u2013 enough of the epigyne is visible in the side view to confirm the genus. Probably N. digna<\/em> but I\u2019m not positive without being able to examine the beasts. So, \u201cNeriene<\/em> sp.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Male Neriene <\/em>sp. (Ara.:\u00a0 Linyphiidae – Linyphiinae)\u00a0 Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Female Neriene <\/em>sp. (Ara.:\u00a0 Linyphiidae – Linyphiinae)\u00a0 Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next \u2013 another linyphiine, probably again Neriene<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nProbably Neriene <\/em>(Ara.: Linyphiidae \u2013 Linyphiinae)\u00a0 Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the last one, below, \u00a0Ian writes:\u00a0 I recognized this spider as soon as I saw it, but was not able to get a good side photo of it because it retreated to a crevice at the back of the hollow it was set up in when my camera’s flash went off. I’ll likely have further opportunities to photograph it in future, as these spiders tend to stay put.<\/p>\n
