The gilled bottoms of some fuzzy white mushrooms on a stick. On one fungus are two mites, one seemingly immature. Top left on the stick is another adult moss mite.
These guys are not spiders but fungi-eating moss mites (Damaeidae undet.) on slipper fungi (Crepidotus undet.)

A little baby harvestman on the underside of a pale whitish stone facing left. The harvestman is mottled shades of grey and brown with quite a rotund body and a pair of beady black eyes. This one may be a juvenile Odiellus spinosus.
A little baby harvestman on the underside of a pale stone, head uppermost. The harvestman's body is mottled shades of grey with a darker, central 'saddle' area on its back. There is the beginnings of a trident in the form of a single pointed tubercle on the edge of the carapace in front of the eyes. Really not sure what this one is - maybe an Odiellus spinosus.
A tiny baby harvestman facing left on the underside of a pale whitish piece of old loose render that has come off a wall. The harvestman is mottled shades of brown and grey and has a darker central 'saddle' area on its back. There are pale, smooth rings around the eyes and the beginnings of a trident. This one could well be a juvenile Paroligolophus agrestis.
Finding quite a few little baby harvestmen at the moment. Most are to small to identify to species at the moment, all looking rather cute though! #arachnids #harvestmen #invertebrates
From a wet woodland in West Sussex, leg spine count indicates Porrhomma oblitum. But to be 100% i will get my county recorder to check the specimen.
Appearance looks correct.

One of my favourite arthropods. The pseudoscorpions turn up in sifted litter trays and stomp about with such attitude, even through they are so tiny!

After searching for this spider at other sites and failing to find it, i was glad to pick this male up at the weekend, old records from the site nearly 20 years old. Zelotes electus.

I learned today that #spiders are neither #bugs nor #insects. They are #Arachnids.
Reading on I began to wonder whether there’s a connection between breaking animals down into their smallest parts for precise labelling & our disconnect from #nature.

A tiny pale grey baby harvestman wandering over some dark soil on a stone. To the top and bottom of the photo are numerous little round harvestman eggs, pale grey in colour.
Close-up of the baby harvestman which has short, pale translucent legs and a slightly darker body with faint grey markings. In the bottom left corner is a cluster of small, round pale eggs.
Close-up of the harvestman eggs which are pale and round. Within several of them you can clearly see the pair of dark eyes of the tiny baby harvestman inside waiting to hatch out. In several you can also just make out the legs wrapped around the body.
Cuteness overload: adorable baby harvestman, newly hatched, alongside a cluster of eggs - the eyes of the babies are clearly visible inside the unhatched eggs and you can just make out the legs. They were found under a stone in my local cemetery. #arachnids #harvestmen
