8. Green lacewings. Very lovely visitors. Not sure what else to say about them TBH, they're super pretty tho. #InverteFest

A lacewing with a long slender green body, large delicate lace-like wings, thin legs, round brown eyes, and long wirey antennas. It's sitting in a jar lid on my hand.

9. Eared leafhopper. Amazing bark camo, I love it. Crypsis and mimicry are my favourite things when it comes to both spotting and drawing bugs. #Invertefest

Top down view of a small ovoid leafhopper insect, with a bark-like colour and texture. It's wings have a lacey pattern, and it has 2 protrusions from it's shoulders that seem a bit like ears. They are not ears. But that are where it gets the name eared leafhopper.

Side view of the same bark-mimicking leafhopper, in which okay yes the two protrusions do look a bit like Mickey mouse cartoon ears if I squint right. Whatever you can then it is a splendid tiny beast.

10. Sometimes the lolling chafers give the optimistic spiders a treat... #InverteFest

Two brown chafer beetles like the ones up-thread have wandered into a cell of a moth trap tray that is occupied by a small green spider. The spider is poised to try and web them I guess? Two giant beetles must be a pretty exciting catch if you're a spider.
