Brede High Woods

Needs a name. Update: Thanks to several of my contacts for all the help in IDing this gorgeous creature as Evarcha falcata, Female. I haven't heard from Andy Phillips as yet but I think he will agree with this diagnosis :) A new contact ( Jones J E ) seems to be quite the 'Spider Guy' himself and I reckon since he had one jump on him as a youngster thats as good a reason as any to agree with his ID...lol

I fell deeply and madly in love with this little chap. Gorgeous spider, I've yet to find an ID for. Any help appreciated.

Who wouldn't love this face?!? Any help with ID appreciated. Update: Thanks to several of my contacts for all the help in IDing this gorgeous creature as Evarcha falcata. I haven't heard from Andy Phillips as yet but I think he will agree with this diagnosis :)

Took me a while to work this guy out, as we usually see the more unifom darkly marked ones.

I've seen these many a time but never had one sit still long enough for a proper photo shot ;P

They are quite striking.

I give up on a proper ID, I pray for my buggy men to come round Joe or Tristen or anyone else that knows and tell me what this one is. What I do know is that it is a lovely Lace Hopper.

I was sorta kinda hoping to find a Rosy Marbled (bit late I know) lurking around, soon as we saw this Robberfly with a moth I just knew it would be the one. The best moths are found in the mouths of other bugs...haha.... It wasn't btw.

You know those days you go out and are having sort of a fly day or a reptile day etc...well it had been flies up to now. On a lovely wood bench in Brede High Wood, there were a lot of flies sunning, so we were looking for anything interesting when this wasp swooped in, wandered around for a second and then BAM! Grabed this juicey fly. A small struggle ensued and the deed was done, seconds later the wasp was away with her catch. No shots of her to get a good ID but if anyone has any idea what wasp this is I'd love to know. Update: Thank you soo Much Andrew Grace1 for IDing this wasp for me as Mellinus arvensis!

I've had a good look, we did see and have more photos of lovely beetles to come, but I just couldn't place a specific ID on this one. I'm pretty sure I've got the right group.

Lovely long legged fly, again one for winter IDing unless someone has a clue..

Pretty sure anyway. Trying to ID, they begin to all look alike...hehe

Saw loads of these wandering around Brede High Wood.

A very dewey start to the day!
