\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Here are some photographs by Ian Cooper:\u00a0 <\/strong>All pictures from Galloping Goose Trail in View Royal, July 2nd, evening after dusk.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\"\"<\/strong>Enoplognatha ovata <\/em>(Ara.: Theridiidae) \u00a0Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

Ian writes:\u00a0 Enoplognatha ovata<\/em>\u00a0are currently abundant, but sightings of the red ‘candy stripe’ variant have been infrequent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Believed to be Anyphaena aperta<\/em>\u00a0(Ara.: Anyphaenidae) \u00a0Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Ian writes:\u00a0 Took a while to pin down the identification for this one! I knew I’d seen this species before, and that we had published it on Invert a couple of years ago, [2022 October 22 morning] but its name escaped me. It’s reminiscent of a crab spider (no web, just waits to ambush passing prey [but the 2022 photograph appears to show some webbing]) but it isn’t a crab spider. It’s been referred to as a ‘sac’ spider, but I’m not sure if that term is still used.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Crane fly – (Dip.: Tipulidae) \u00a0Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

Ian writes:\u00a0 I saw a few of these crane flies actively laying their eggs in various locations by the trail, including in a tree’s moss.<\/p>\n
