I have a couple of favourite hunting grounds that I check out most weeks right throughout the year. One in Bedfordshire is a ~200m fence separating a coniferous wood (mainly Scots Pine) from a meadow. I have been there three times in the last two weeks and the most common inverts are harvestmen. Virtually every fence-post has one (sometimes more) stationed near the top - usually head down. There are at least four species along the fence (probably more) although I have only photographed two (I was concentrating on photographing ladybirds) in the last couple of weeks.
I guess my favourite is the strange looking
Dicranopalpus ramosus. Males and females are quite different looking. I've been told that in some areas the males have been given the nickname "Zorro" due the dark mask across their eyes
- here's a pic of a male I shot last Thursday:
