When endeavoring to get macro shots of Butterflies, encounters with Arachnids are enevitable, and I look forward to these encounters.
Thanks to Dr. Matthias Buck, who is the Invertebrate Biologist at the Royal Alberta Museum, for the identification.
Elk Island National Park. Strathcona County, Alberta.
One of my favourite eating mushrooms. Anybody who walks the Heritage Coast regularly should be able to place this within a few metres.

My friend paddling behind me told me this guy was on my back and moved to my hat. So I pulled over to a small island and chased him around my hat for a while before transferring him to this spot. It's probably a male Fierce Orbweaver, but despite that name he was super friendly and really wanted to make a web in my hat.
Here are some quick facts about this tiny wader prepared while I studied the species for an article.
1. They may not look like, but Pratincoles are waders and (belongs to Glareolidae bird family) Small Pratincoles are more closely related to gulls than waders.
2. Small Pratincoles are mainly residents with short distance movements depending on water supply.
3. Like other wader species, Small Pratincoles are breeding on sandy or gravel islets of rivers or ponds.
4. Pratincoles, though being waders, catches their preys on wing & off the water surfaces like swallows and also able to take prey on the ground like other ground birds.
5. The opportunistic waders often take their prey in the herds of antelopes and insects attracted to street lights.
6. Because of its small size, the small pratincole can be confused with swifts or swallows when in flight or for hawking for insects.
7. Their long pointed wings and short bill help them aerial feeding making them unique wader.
8. Largest populations of Small Pratincoles can be found in India.

Lepista personata, también conocida como Lepista saeva, es una seta comestible de sombrero blanco muy similar al de la Lepista nuda.
Se diferencian en que en ésta el sombrero es de color crema o beige y en la Lepista nuda de color azul violáceo, sobre todo cuando son jóvenes.
Posee láminas apretadas de color crema sucio, pie grueso y corto de color violeta y su sombrero llega a medir 15 cms.
Crece formando corros de brujas, en praderas de montaña y bordes de bosques.
En castellano se conoce como Pie violeta, en inglés como Field blewit
Fueron fotografiadas en el Planalto de Castro Laboreiro (Portugal), en una ruta interesantisima a la que os dejo enlace :

Perfectly harmless and beneficial orb weaver in the genus Araneus - maybe andrewsi? or saevus?
Excited to be a part of final 23 images displayed at GBWC-2014 (Global Bird Watchers Conference). Many thanks to Saevus Wildlife India LLP Magazine.
Shot this beautiful male at the ranathambore tiger reserve
it was a hot noon and after a long search we found this fellow cooling himself in the water hole

Araneus saevus 'Giant Lichen Orbweaver' (?) in the dead grasses. Thanks to Lynette and the experts at BugGuide.net for the ID. Old Scout Camp, Bow Valley Provincial Park, 5989September_30__2010
Still rainy and mild, 58 deg. at night. No salamander at the backdoor tonight, but wow! I got this fantastic Orb Weaver spider! She is only the second of her species I've seen, the first was about eleven years ago. Her body length measures a conservative 20 mm long (I couldn't get the ruler over her back because of her pronounced back-humps), with an estimated 40 mm leg-span. Backdoor. October 27, 2022
Approximate length - 20 mm.
