A rose sawfly, Oribatid mites (and bonus) plus a snout mite and a drinking spider!

[Paul Iddon]

This is I think a rose sawfly (Arge pagana) trapped in a spider web:

Here are Oribatid mites (about the size of a pin head) one of which has a passenger (could be a nematode):

And a snout mite (very quick these are!):

Finally:

The first time I have managed a photograph of a spider taking a drink. Amaurobius sp.

Cheers Paul - having a secent macro lens goes a long way, along with a bit of careful processing too !
