I was just poking around the garden today in a spare moment and had two unexpected arachnid discoveries!!
1. A hackled orbweaver (_Uloborus glomosus_), one of the very few venomless spiders, that also makes orb webs with a fuzzy, glueless silk not often used for aerial webs—I rarely come across them and never, I think, in my own garden.
2. A new kind of pseudoscorpion—not the tiny yellowish cthoniids I'm used to, but a HUGE beast with sturdy claws, like 3mm long! I think it's family Chernetidae.
