Thanks Camelia. There is nothing to worry about them, you even have to be careful, not to chase them away.

The Jumper has caught a Thrip - very good detail on such a small meal. I watched a Jumper tracking a Rove Beetle today but I must have spooked it as it gave up the chase.

Thanks Toby. This spider here had already a few other "left over"-bugs laying around on the pedals. I guess these are flower beetle larvae, about 1 mm in size.

I saw, the spider had "something", but only then on the computer I saw, what it was.
