Thanks, John.    |

The top 2 are Tetragnatha extensa. They belong to the long-jawed spiders. I've seen loads recently. Im afraid I don't know much about harvestmen |

Thanks Ukwildlifeo and Roger for confirming the IDs for the spider. Any idea why they are so differently coloured?

Hey, I have one of the brown ones in the second photo living on my washing line!
I was trying to take a photo of him yesterday, but my camera is useless at macro shots so all I got was a blurry blob on a fuzzy clothes peg.
They definately live up to the "long jawed spider" description - he has gigantic fangs! |

John
with the harvestmen (Opiliones) you might want to look here European Society of Arachnology: Opiliones (Not for the arachnophobic this site  )

Howdy,
I know it's a rather old topic .. but the Harvestman is Rilaena triangularis 
Ahw .... I see now that I had already mentioned that in the image comments when browsing the archive ...
Would you please be so kind to change the image title/description than ?
Thanks
