Eris Militaris, I believe it was a male because the thorax was slimmer. I watched this spider stalk a little gnat that kept on landing on the same 3 leaves including this one. Everytime thr spider got close the gnat would fly to another leaf. In this instance the spider had decided to ambush it by closing the distance on the other side of the leaf (very smart.) but the gnat had already flown away by the time he peaked over the leaf. I’m sure he didn’t go hungry though, he was too persistent.

An Eris Militaris jumping spider peaks over the side of a torn and weathered leaf. His head is cocked to the side giving him a rather curious and playful persona much like some dogs have when they turn their head.

Something enjoyable - taking a photo of a small, odd-looking bug with camera at arm's length, trying not to fall into a canal, getting home and seeing the results and thinking - what the heck's *that*?

Pretty sure it's a Mystacides azurea var. albicornis - a caddisfly. Look at those maxillary palps!

On a nettle leaf, a small, narrow insect with dark, shiny blue-black wings folded into long, sharp triangles covering its back - white legs protrude from underneath. The head has two round, brown-red compound eyes, two incredibly long white, thread-like antennae going forwards and curling out slightly, and two dark, almost crab-like jointed appendages. "Distinctive large and hairy maxillary palps used in mating" apparently, according to NatureSpot.(It's a male.)

Bee goes buzz

An Asian hornet was spotted in Cork recently. If they gain a hold in this country it could be very bad news for bumblebees like the one in this photo.

This particular bee had 3 of us surrounding her with cameras trying to photograph her as she fed on the nectar of this little flower.
