Nocturnal visit to the reserve to stick a moth trap out meant I would inevitably scour the walls and trees for anything sneaking about. "Doing" invertebrates without going at night means shutting yourself off to a fair percentage of animals in the natural activities, catching them only when they're asleep.
You can always rely on a Tree Slug
Slightly more diurnal usually is Trichocera regelationis, its darkened x-vein not shown at all well here:
A couple of earwigs dropped off before I could photo them, naturally.
Nucteana umbratica is spider #23 for the year, following #22 Tibellus maritimus (ad.f. from earlier this week), Neither new, but keeping the numbers ticking over.
.The moth trap turned up precious little. One fungus gnat and another fly which escaped. The light was off when I arrived, though
