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.

11. Brown lipped snail. Probably the most unexpected visitor to the moth trap yet. 🙃🤷 #InverteFest

A little snail with a golden stripey shell, asleep in a cell of one of the grey cardboard egg trays from my moth trap. I'm not sure how or why, but I'm impressed it got in there.

12. Assorted wasps. As well as the classic jasper, a range of other things that I guess are wasps (?) drop by. #InverteFest

The classic common wasp, AKA jasper with pointy stripey bum, somewhat fuzzy head and body, chonky antennas, and long slightly spiny legs. Best stripey girl on the dead fruit clean up crew, A+.

An unidentified insect that I'm guessing is some kind of wasp. It has a long thin abdomen, a teeny tiny waist, a boxy body, small head and long antennas. It has long transparent wings and thin legs. It's black all over apart from the wings.

A long gangly orange wasp on the fabric shelter above my moth trap. It has a really long body and very long thin legs and antennas. Its wings are transparent.

Another unidentified presumed wasp. Sorry, I'm very bad at Hymenoptera ID. It has a long abdomen, tiny waist, chonky body, small head, and long antennas. It's wings are long and slightly tinted brown. It's long legs are orange and its body is black.
