  1. This cockroach I can get to genus level, however – it's Ectobius.

    But distinguishing E vittiventris & E pallidus, both common around here, is difficult without a microscopic examination.

    Both are harmless & live outdoors. They can fly however, & sometimes enter houses by accident, attracted by lights.

  2. Spider fans – I need your help!

    This tiny one is a juvenile orb weaver, but despite the apparently distinctive pattern of spots and patches, I can't make a good genus-level ID, let alone species 😱

    Some common features with each of Araniella, Enoplognatha, & Mangora, but nothing definitive.

  3. Made a quick garden visit between (welcome) showers 🌧️

    Expectations were low, but I was rewarded with a brief glimpse of this pretty little fly, probably Callomyia amoena.

    Fairly rare – only 15 prior observations in DE on iNaturalist, & none around here on either iNat or GBIF. More common in NL though.
