hier, noch im anflug, hab ich den wollschweber nicht so gut getroffen, aber dafür ist auch noch eine wolfspinne (Komplex Pardosa lugubris) mit drauf :)

@futurebird _totally coincidentally_ before the following-on ant conversation popped up, I was about to send this photo of a tiny, <2mm arthropod frequently seen on wood here, to a friend.

Tiny and fast moving, it was only photographable using a general-purpose camera bcs it was caught in bright tangential sunlight scuttling around on smooth, wet cork-oak bark. It's [NOT!*] a woodlouse - Isopod - poss of suborder Oniscidea.

I'm bringing it in here bcs I just learned that similar species are closely associated with ants, who they "tidy-up" after. This tree has a seasonal ant city in it, but not since I've had the decent camera that took this photo.
