My intended subject (Nuctenea umbratica) unfortunately fell from the fence panel to the ground...

I searched in vain to find it, then spotted a pale spiderling in the moss, so grabbed as good a photo as I could on such a small subject.

Imagine my surprise when opened in Lightroom to find not one, but 2 spiders... Plus on the fence moments was a small mouse spider Scotophaeus blackwalli.

The two tiny spiders are Philodromus sp. (Running spider) and a juvenile Steatoda nobilis.
