  1. Sorry – awful photos, but the only way I could get them was by holding the camera high above my head & semi-blindly tapping on the fold-out screen to take a shot 🙄

    But still worth sharing, IMO, as they show a male Dexia vacua, a tachnid fly species that's very rare except, it seems, in my garden 🤷‍♂️🙂

  6. Look, ma – it's my shadow!

    This jumping spider was patrolling the ivy where many insects are flying today.

    ObsIdentify is 100% sure that it's Evarcha falcata, but I'm siding with iNaturalist's 98.4% confidence that it's Carrhotus xanthogramma (🇩🇪 Wipfelspringer): females come in many colour forms.

  11. This from earlier today is trickier 🧐

    It's very likely a masked bee in genus Hylaeus.

    From the shape & colour of the face markings & legs, I slightly favour H hyalinatus, the hairy-masked bee (🇩🇪 Mauer-Maskenbiene), but H leptocephalus, H communis etc. may also be options.

  12. When the larger arthropods refuse to come out & play, attention turns to the tinier garden creatures 🕵️‍♂️

    This small sap or pollen beetle is in genus Cychramus, most likely C luteus, the Brauner Glanzkäfer in 🇩🇪

    True to its name, it was making the most of the goldenrod before I picked it up.
