I'm at the BAS members weekend and one of the first finds of the day was this Argyroneta aquatica which was a lifer for most of us, including me. @britishspiders.bsky.social

It's the Fenland form so if ever you're round that way in Autumn you should have a chance. I don't mind showing you where it is if you're in the east.

I went back for more Wasp Spiders and wasn't disappointed. I even saw a male mate guarding, and due to forced perspective he appears bigger in my photo compared to his intended mate. Also Neoscona adianta and Araneus quadratus. @britishspiders.bsky.social

Some great moths in amongst the 49 species last night. 3 Small Mottled Willow NFM, my 2nd (and 3rd) garden record of Tawny Waves thanks to living near their stronghold of The Brecks, and a very docile Shark. @bc-suffolk.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

Lots of Moth-ers pot up anything they want to look at later and put them in the fridge. It calms them down without harming them.

@chrisgpackham.bsky.social The unringed Pied Flycatcher brings in an Angle Shades, the wings are briefly clearly visible to ID it as such.
