Around the compost bin, there's plenty going on...

There's a crab spider, a beetle of some kind (unknown just now) and a harvestman, then in the soil itself there is at least 3 to see (an elongate springtail and more to be ID'd) then a mirid bug, and some mixed blessings as 2 springtails go a-courting.

Cracking set as always Paul (y)
 
2nd one reminds me of an Earwig , could it be a one in development ? All up to your usual high standard .
 
Nice set Paul
I would have gone for damson bug for 2 myself and the elongate springtail maybe a Entomobrya intermedia

Cheers Alf.

Your in the ball with the springtail, it's E.nivalis.

Super variety Paul.

Interesting to have the Anthocoris ID. I've been seeing a few of those recently, nymphs and adults.

Thanks Nick.

At first I thought the Anthorcoris was a snout mite with a firmer shell...
