Doing a bit of gardening at the weekend, I disturbed a couple of new species. Harpactia homburgi is a ground-living, nocturnal spider that hunts insects such as woodlice. This one’s elongated body I think indicates it’s a male. The small mirid bug is a member of the genus Psallus, the first I’ve recorded. There are a few similar looking species. P. varians prefers oak trees, where it feeds on sap, but also eat smaller insects.
