Until I saw this fly come and go from this web I had no idea that nursery web spiders' webs are not sticky! It makes sense though as they don't use webs to catch food, they're active hunters and this web is to protect her babies rather than catch passing flies, so there's no need for a sticky web. It was just a real 'uh, I never knew that' moment for me

For the arachnophobes, this video contains no visible spiders, they've all left the nest now

A new resident has turned up in my new pond: a great pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis)

The frogbit that it’s next to was free from a canal towpath found about a week after finishing the pond. It looked like there had been maintenance done not long before I walked there as the verges were freshly and there were 3 clumps of still living frogbit just left out on the path. It was on my pond plant wish list so obviously it was meant to be and they came home with me

First time seeing ants mating. Apologies for shaky video, they move around a lot! Just after the video ends she shook him off and they went their separate ways
