hi again

i know one is a nursery web spider and two looks like a type of flea beetle but hoping for something more specific if possible. also with number 4 was wanting confirmation that what ever it is has been predated.

many thanks again

The second one is a Chalcid wasp, possibly Torymidae

Last is Muscidae, Coenosia sp. The prey is another fly, can't say which.

Evening Tim,

Of the second batch. any further images of the first? I have a couple of ideas. The prey-item in the second shot is a Lonchopterid.

Take care,

Jason

It may be one of them Stenoderma-types, a Grass Bug at least (I think they're called). The blue beetle - pic-2 - looks like my Altica lythri specimen, though these are in the main, genitalically-identified.
