Well just possibly, if they're Wasp Spiders! My invertebrate mentor Garth Coupland knew that I'd long wanted to see a Wasp Spider (one of our largest orb web species) and picked me up this morning for a Safari just south of Norwich. Even he was amazed by the number we found: over 30 before we stopped counting! Several had outstanding stabilimenta: fluorescing filaments of unknown function: they may attract insects, or conversely warn off birds!
We also found dozens of Bush Crickets of three species: I'll post them later!
