Peanut Butter (that's what I've decided to call the _Platycryptus undatus_ who lives down the street) nabbed herself a female ant alate! I also saw more female alates in other spiders' webs, and a few that had gotten into the grocery store somehow.

Northeastern North Americans/ant people in general: anyone know which ants' nuptial flight time it is? Those yellow _Lasius_ maybe? The males (in my window orbweaver's web) seem yellow.

gotta stay on brand

here's a sidewalk mite (_Balaustium_) feeding on some predatory mite, Rhagidiidae or Cunaxidae or thereabouts; and an _Admestina_ jumping spider I found near pine trees in a nearby park. I find such interesting arthropods around pines that I don't see anywhere else.

A red mite with a somewhat elongated body and a coat of short fine hair, feeding on a much smaller translucent whitish mite which has a noticeably different leg arrangement, body shape, etc. The eyelike bumps on the red mite's head are chemical-secreting organs called urnulae.A small, very flat jumping spider on a white-painted rock. It is beige with dark mottling down the centre of its body and has banded legs, except for its first pair of legs which are thicker and brown.

I think of this _Larinioides_ colouration as "white chocolate". The spiders in this genus I see in my area range from almost black to grey to orange-brown to peach to beige to, like this one, almost white.
