There were two of these little spiders chasing each other on a leaf, only stopping to pose for the camera for a split second. Nose to tail < 1mm in length. Anybody know its name? Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [182.77Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 14-11-2008 00:11 |

Hello! I think it isn't a spider at all, I vote for Acari, somewhere at Gamasina. Greetings, Tomi |

Well nobody seems to disagree with you Tomi. I have none of these on my Checklist for Shetland, but I suppose with the very small size they are easily overlooked. Regards Roger Had a PM from pwalter to say this is Prostigmata Anystidae (family). Unable to send post to thread. I was having problems connecting to site also..Working OK now.
