Peeping out from it's home. Soon the branch will give way, but I have planted another next toit which they will hopefully use.

I can't make out whether this is murder most foul or a loving embrace. One Myrmarachne was moving up the wall, the other coming down. I dashed inside to get my camera and found them like this. When I went back later there was only one of them and I couldn't see any sign of the other one.

I couldn't believe my eyes! This beautiful weevil in my garden. How did it know to find the wild rosemary bush in the garden? Definitely the highlight of the CNC 2023 for me.

Dear spider experts. Maybe you can help to shed some light on my observation. I found this beautiful female Caerostris with a male sitting tightly next to her. I thought it was just coincidence and that he would become dinner soon. However, two weeks later they were still "cuddling" and sitting in a similar position, once on a different tree connected by the bridge line. When I first saw them, the female had produced one egg-sack, and a second one during my second week of observation. I assume the male is the same one during this time. Then, to satisfy my curiosity, I went on the hunt for more Caerostris spider in the same vicinity. I found six more females!, and two of them had a male sitting next to the female, just like spider no. 1, while one male was sitting between the "horns" on top of the female. I have not yet found a female with more than one male, but will keep observing. My question is whether "mate-pairing" in spiders is common, or am I missing something. Thanks!

• Pair of harvestmen found together.
• Location: On the vertical surface of a tree trunk approximately 1.2m above the ground in a forest alongside a stream.
• When disturbed the two harvestmen moved around the tree trunk together as a pair.
• One of the specimens had a large swollen abdomen. The ventral surface of the opisthosoma was white. The other specimen was much smaller with no white visible on the ventral surface.
• White also at the base of the legs in both specimens.
• Possibly a male/female pair?

I tried to identify this one but I couldn't even find the right family. . . It has distinctive comb like hairs on its front tibia.
