  That is not a spider, it is a Harvestman, related to spiders but different in several ways. They only have two eyes instead of six or eight, they only have one body part, and they do not produce silk or venom.

  @bcpathome I was walking past my 3 month old pond yesterday evening when a frog/toad shot out in front of me. I only narrowly avoided stepping on him! I have no idea whether he's dipped his toes in the pond but I'm hoping so 🤞

  That’s great. Iwas told that I wouldn’t get any wildlife in the pond for the first year. Just shows you doesn’t it …….build it and they will come !

  Hopping critter in the bathroom, no wings that I can see. Some kind of male bush cricket? Or Lesser Spotted Bath Hogger?
