This is a brown lacewing - though of the 29 or so species in the UK, it could be any one of those!
It wasn't particularly co-operative as it just kept wandering up and down the stalk of the welsh poppy flower.

It's very cold and almost wintery again here, and the bugs, especially by night, are illusive to say the least. But I found one of my regulars in the garden.
The walnut orb spider, once more in her defensive "I'll play dead" position - looks like she has but one string to her bow.

This one of my first photos taken with the Venus - of a globular springtail (Dicyrtomina saundersi) - pretty large one at about 3mm, but this is cropped to maybe half the original size image.
There are lots of nematodes hitching a ride - phoretic, is the term given to them for this mode of transport!
