My garden is FULL of these guys right now, it is actually impossible to go down there without walking through a few webs.

Heres a couple of photos.

This one looked like it had a wasp wrapped up








Now this guy is pretty interesting.
Looks like a spider but it actually isnt. They remind me of something from a sci fi movie.
You can read more on them here - http://www.uksafari.com/harvestmen.htm





And lastly, I wonder if anyone can help me with this.
These eggs(?) were under a peice of slate, I have no idea what they belong. May not be eggs at all?

there seems to be alot of spiders about by me aswell, they keep making webs from the hedge to the car and my mum always forgots and walks into them, the scene when they are crawling on my mum is funny tho lol
i'd be interested to know if they are eggs and what they belong to!

Leah, Im pretty sure they're garden snail eggs. Although 'earwig' (Forficula auricularia) eggs look almost identical?!

Have a look

Thanks man!
They are seriously everywhere, lol.
Thats cool that you've got lots of jumpers around, Id love to get some photos of them. Not sure id be able to though, those guys are tiny arent they?
And yep, been dry for a while down here too. Wish we would get some rain though, Im desperate to find some amphibians! Only found a few this year

Thanks, Hannah. Il let you know what the eggs hatch into
